First group of Kenyan police force departs for Haiti to lead UN-backed mission
A contingent of Kenyan police is departing for a controversial mission in Haiti to combat the influence of powerful criminal gangs that have brought turmoil and violence to the Caribbean nation.
Kenyan President William Ruto holds a ceremony on Monday, wishing luck to 400 officers who will arrive in Haiti later this week as part of a United Nations-backed initiative. This is the first contingent out of 1,000 police officers that Kenya expects to send.
