Kenya and the US have signed a defense agreement to support Kenya's upcoming deployment to Haiti to combat gang violence. The agreement will guide the countries' defense relations for the next five years and provide Kenya with resources and support for security deployments. The US has pledged $100 million in funding for the mission, and Kenya has volunteered to lead the multi-national force. However, there are concerns about human rights abuses and a potential language barrier between the Kenyan deployment, which primarily speaks English and Swahili, and the people of Haiti, who speak French and Creole.
