In a U.N.-backed mission, 200 police officers from Kenya have landed in Haiti to join efforts in battling violent gangs that have seized control of parts of the troubled Caribbean nation. This deployment follows a previous contingent of 200 officers who arrived in Port-au-Prince, where gangs currently dominate at least 80% of the city.
The United Nations Security Council recently expressed strong condemnation of the high levels of armed violence in Haiti, which are not only destabilizing the country but also impacting the wider region.
