๐ฎ๐ญ๐นKenya Stepping Up to Help Out Haiti in a Big Way ๐ฐ๐ช
So, Haiti’s going through some rough times, for real. Kenya’s looking to step in and drop some assistance by sending over their police squad to help bring things back to chill in Haiti. You know, with gangs taking over major parts of the capital and violence getting outta hand, something’s gotta give. ๐๐ฅ
For a whole year, Haiti’s top guy has been putting out the word, hoping some foreign help would come through. Looks like Africa’s answering that call.
Now, the U.S. is making moves, pulling some of their folks from their spot in Port-au-Prince, ’cause things are getting heated. They’re also hinting at getting the United Nations Security Council on board for a big move in Haiti. ๐บ๐ธ๐
Over the weekend, Kenya threw their hat in the ring, talking about they might be the ones to lead this thing, sending over a cool 1,000 police officers to help out. Haiti’s been in this wild cycle of political drama and violence, and it’s been tough. ๐ฐ๐ช๐ฎ
A lot of folks ain’t feeling Haiti’s leadership right now. Gangs are running things in Port-au-Prince, and the local law ain’t doing much to shut it down. So, these street justice squads are popping up, going after anyone they think is gang-affiliated. ๐ซ๐
With all this chaos, folks are seeking some kind of safety, and many are camping out by the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince. Just last week, they snatched up an American nurse and her kiddo. And don’t even get me started on how they did the former president, Jovenel Moรฏse. Dude was taken out in his own crib two years back.
Haiti’s main man, Ariel Henry, has been on the grind, trying to get some international backup for a minute. But powerhouses like the U.S. were on the fence.
Kenya’s foreign rep, my guy Alfred N. Mutua, said their team would be there to level up the Haitian police game, bring some order, and hold down the important spots. He’s talking big about Kenya standing tall with Black folks everywhere. ๐ค๐
Now, Kenya ain’t new to this. They’ve been in the mix with peacekeeping in places like Somalia and Congo. They even tried to squash the beef in Sudan. They’re just waiting on the green light from the Security Council to get all the details in place.
The U.S. is talking about they’re all in to back this move in Haiti. But they’re still figuring out what that backup looks like.
Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken’s putting it out there that they’re all about supporting the Haitian people. The United Nations is co-signing the help but with a twist; they’re saying it’s gonna be a squad separate from the U.N.
Now, I gotta keep it a buck; foreign help in Haiti has been a mixed bag. Even when folks come through with the best intentions, sometimes things don’t play out right.
The U.N.’s track record in Haiti? It’s complicated. They were around from 2005 to 2017, trying to stabilize things after all the drama and natural disasters. But they ended up bringing cholera, which took out mad folks. And they weren’t quick to own up to it. Some of their troops? They’ve been caught up in some messy situations.
Despite all that, people in the know still think Haiti needs that outside boost.
Jean Jonassaint, an expert on all things Haiti, is stressing the importance of sending folks who can really connect with the people there, like those who speak French.
Pierre Espรฉrance, who’s been on the frontlines fighting for human rights in Haiti, has some reservations about Kenya leading this thing, especially given some of the stories coming out about their police. He’s stressing that the key to getting Haiti right is dealing with the gang problem at its roots.
Looking back at how peacekeeping missions have gone down before, Espรฉrance is like, “We gotta tread lightly. I’m still scratching my head about why Kenya’s the pick.” ๐คท๐ค๐ญ๐น๐ฐ๐ช

๐ฎ๐ญ๐น Kenya Offers to Send Police to Assist in Haiti’s Crisis ๐ฐ๐ช
Haiti is currently grappling with a significant turmoil. Responding to the situation, Kenya has proposed to dispatch its police force to assist in restoring order in Haiti. This comes as gangs exert considerable control over large parts of Haiti’s capital, leading to escalating violence. ๐๐ฅ
After Haiti’s Prime Minister’s repeated appeals over a year for foreign military assistance, it seems the country might soon receive support from an African nation.
The U.S. recently revealed plans to withdraw non-essential staff from its embassy in Port-au-Prince due to rising security concerns. Following this, they advised other Americans to depart. On Monday, the U.S. announced intentions to propose a resolution to the United Nations Security Council for a multinational intervention in Haiti. ๐บ๐ธ๐
This past Saturday, Kenya responded, stating they would consider spearheading this effort by deploying 1,000 police officers to Haiti. The Caribbean nation is currently ensnared in a cycle of political upheaval and intense violence. ๐ฐ๐ช๐ฎ
Haiti’s leadership, particularly the Prime Minister, is widely perceived as ineffective. With gangs dominating significant portions of Port-au-Prince and the local police unable to curb the ongoing violence, vigilante groups have emerged, publicly targeting and eliminating suspected gang members. ๐ซ๐
Amid this chaos, many have sought refuge outside the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince. In a distressing incident last week, an American nurse and her child were abducted. It’s also worth noting that Haiti’s former president, Jovenel Moรฏse, was tragically assassinated two years ago. Since then, the nation has been submerged in political chaos and violence.
For some time now, Haiti’s Prime Minister, Ariel Henry, has been advocating for international intervention. However, powerful nations like the U.S. initially showed hesitance.
Kenya’s foreign minister, Alfred N. Mutua, stated that Kenyan officers would aim to train the Haitian police, restore normalcy, and secure crucial sites. He emphasized Kenya’s solidarity with Black communities globally. ๐ค๐
Kenya has previously been involved in peacekeeping efforts in countries like Somalia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. They also recently attempted to mediate a resolution to the prolonged conflict in Sudan. The specifics of their proposed involvement in Haiti will be refined once the Security Council provides authorization.
The U.S. has affirmed their commitment to support the multinational initiative in Haiti. However, the specifics of their support remain undefined.
Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken commented, emphasizing unwavering U.S. support for the Haitian populace. The United Nations has welcomed this prospective assistance but clarified that it would be an international force independent of the U.N.
A concern arises regarding the efficacy and perception of foreign intervention. Historically, Haiti has had a tense relationship with external powers. Even well-intended international efforts in the aftermath of political crises or natural disasters often failed to bring lasting improvements.
The U.N.’s role in Haiti has also been controversial. They were present in the country from 2005 to 2017, following periods of political instability and natural catastrophes. However, U.N. soldiers were implicated in the cholera outbreak in Haiti, leading to approximately 10,000 deaths. They were also slow in accepting responsibility, with some troops being accused of sexual misconduct.
Despite the U.N.’s complicated past in the country, experts acknowledge the necessity of external assistance in Haiti’s current situation.
Jean Jonassaint, an expert on Haitian affairs, noted the importance of language compatibility in peacekeeping missions, emphasizing the value of French-speaking peacekeepers.
Pierre Espรฉrance, a prominent human rights advocate in Haiti, expressed concerns over Kenya’s potential leadership in this initiative, given Kenya’s police force’s own human rights allegations. Espรฉrance believes that for any international mission in Haiti to succeed, the pervasive influence of gangs in the nation’s police and political structure needs to be addressed.
Reflecting on the history of peacekeeping missions, Espรฉrance said, “We need to be cautious. I’m puzzled by the choice of Kenya.” ๐คท๐ค๐ญ๐น๐ฐ๐ช
