In response to the escalating gang violence in Haiti, a Kenya-led multinational force has been deployed to address the situation. The head of the force emphasized the importance of their mission, stating that there is no room for failure. The primary objective of the United Nations-backed police mission is to ensure democratic elections in Haiti.

The Kenyan force, which arrived in Haiti last month, is committed to working closely with Haitian authorities and international partners to bring stability to the country. The force, consisting of 1,000 police officers, with an initial deployment of 200 officers, aims to collaborate with other nations such as the Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Benin, Chad, and Jamaica to total 2,500 personnel.
