The first contingent of a Kenyan-led international force tasked with helping Haiti quash armed gangs controlling most of its capital, Port-au-Prince, arrived over two weeks ago in the country. And while authorities have highlighted progress, including retaking the country's main hospital, a new report by The Washington Post shows that residents are expecting swifter action.
The outlet details that gangs so far appear "unperturbed" by the forces' arrival, still "setting homes ablaze, attacking police stations and killing with impunity." Police officers, on their end, said they haven't been given a plan to restore order at a general level, with Kenyan officers so far joining them in patrols.
