A new group of Kenyan officers has been deployed to Haiti as part of the international force tasked with helping local forces fight armed gangs in the besieged Caribbean country.
The 200 officers are set to join the group that arrived in late June. Overall, the country has pledged to send about 1,000 troops to lead a 2,500-strong force that includes officers from countries such as Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Jamaica, Bangladesh, Benin and Chad. Most of the funding is coming from the U.S., with Canada and France also contributing with funding and training.
