Kenya and Haiti sign agreement on Kenyan police deployment to Haiti

There are several developments regarding the deployment of a foreign armed force to Haiti to combat gang violence. Kenyan politician William Ruto discussed the fast-tracking of this deployment with Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry, but it is unclear if this agreement will counter a court ruling in January that deemed the deployment "illegal". The Kenyan government had previously offered up to 1,000 personnel for the mission, an offer welcomed by the United States. Meanwhile, images have emerged of a commercial aircraft at the Port-au-Prince airport with a bullet hole in its fuselage. Several flights were cancelled, and one major airline, Sunrise, suspended all services. In Henry's absence, a powerful gang leader has threatened to capture Haiti's police chief and government ministers.
