Kenyan police officers are set to depart for Haiti this week to address severe gang violence in the Caribbean nation. The deployment, which has faced delays due to legal challenges and worsened security conditions in Haiti, is part of an international effort to combat the rampant violence in the capital city of Port-au-Prince.
The mission involves personnel from Jamaica, the Bahamas, Barbados, Chad, Bangladesh, and Kenya, with funding primarily provided by the United States. The first contingent of Kenyan police officers is scheduled to leave Kenya on Tuesday and is expected to arrive in Haiti later this week, according to the U.S. State Department.
