Kenya has offered to lead a multinational force in Haiti and deploy 1,000 police officers to help combat the escalating violence in the country. Gangs control about 80% of the Haitian capital, and crimes such as kidnappings, armed robbery, and carjackings are common. The United Nations and Haitian Prime Minister have been seeking international intervention for nearly a year, and Kenya has now stepped forward. The proposed deployment still requires approval from the UN Security Council and domestic authorities. Haiti is facing compounding humanitarian, political, and security crises, with violence continuing to escalate and spread.
