Kenyan Police Depart for Controversial Deployment in Haiti
ai generated text
Kenya has announced plans to deploy 1,000 police officers to Haiti as part of an international effort to stabilize the country. According to reports, the Kenyan government had initially planned to send 400 troops, which departed on Tuesday, with the remaining contingent expected to follow later. The mission is being led by Kenyan police officers and will involve personnel from other countries. However, it appears that Kenya's decision to deploy its police force without a prior agreement has raised concerns about the constitutionality of the move. A court ruling had previously deemed the deployment unconstitutional, but the government seems to be defying this ruling.
While gang violence appears to have receded from its peak earlier this year, the country's security situation remains dire.
Do not play into the hands of traditional politicians and businessmen, who used violence for political and economic ends, and who now want to recover, by force, the weapons they had distributed. The problem that exists today can only be resolved through dialogue.
We have mediated many conflicts and are currently engaged in resolving more.
Don't let down the confidence the people of Kenya and the international community have in you.
This mission is one of the most urgent, important and historic in the history of global solidarity.
We hope to see further measurable improvements in security, particularly with respect to access to humanitarian aid and core economic activity.
