Abstract

Kenya and Haiti have signed an agreement that will allow Kenya to send 1,000 police officers to Haiti in an effort to combat the country's increasing lawlessness. The deployment was initially approved by the Kenyan cabinet and National Security Council, but was temporarily blocked by Kenya's high court on constitutional grounds. The United Nations Security Council has also approved the mission to assist Haiti's overwhelmed police force in addressing widespread gang violence. The move comes as Haiti faces ongoing anti-government protests and a deepening state of chaos. [Extracted from the article]
