Civilian contractors have arrived in Haiti to build living quarters for a Kenyan-led international security force meant to counter gang violence in the Caribbean nation, the U.S. military's Southern Command said. The U.N. Security Council approved in October the creation of the Multinational Security Support mission to help Haitian police wrest back territory from alliances of gangs who control most of the capital Port-au-Prince. Kenya pledged 1,000 officers to lead the force last July, but their deployment has been repeatedly delayed, first by court challenges and then by a surge of violence in Port-au-Prince that forced the Prime Minister Ariel Henry to resign in March. Kenyan President William Ruto told Reuters last week that the swearing-in of a transition council in Haiti on April 25 had addressed that concern and Kenya was discussing how to proceed. U.S. military aircraft flew civilian contractors to Haiti from May 3 to May 5 to secure equipment and supplies arriving in the country, Southern Command said in a statement to Reuters.

How much money are the Clintons in on the over and under?
We shouldn’t expend one cent of taxpayer money on this place. Let some other sucker of a nation foot the bill.
The US Government and military is so hilarious. They are probably soooooo proud of themselves. The brain trust thought “Hey! Lets bring in a bunch of darkies straight from Africa!”
Utterly amazing racist disconnect.
BTW, shouldn’t this be a problem for France? Why is this America’s problem?
This is like the CRIPS & the Bloods.
The Monroe Doctrine applied to Europe I thought. Since Haiti has been a basket case since independence why not give Africa a try? You would think they’d come from French colonies-the former ones.
UN peacekeepers have been known to exchange aid for sex. Musta learned from Bill Clinton. They’re probably more honest.
In an unrelated story, monkeypox is spreading in haiti.
The OAS should emigrate a million Haitians to French speaking republics in Africa. This would be a good channel. Give them an ATM card good in the new country’s banks. Wouldn’t cost much. There’s 10 million or so Haitians so I’d start with young girls and their parents-get it? Let the nation wither on the vine and confine the remainder to the capital city area. That way the DR can take over.
Call it the final solution. Watch the left’s reaction
More 'My work is done here' memes?
Nice choice for the Christian nation of Kenya. I hope they are successful and learn a few things they can take back and employ.
Monroe Doctrine?
0bama’s Kenyan fingerprints.
> The Monroe Doctrine applied to Europe I thought. <
The United States trashed the Monroe Doctrine in 1917. The Doctrine had two parts. Europe was not to interfere in the Americas. And the United States was not to interfere in Europe.
Woodrow Wilson sent American supplies to Britain, and American troops to fight in France. We interfered. We broke the agreement. Maybe it was necessary. But we broke the agreement. So we can’t whine much when someone wants to interfere here.
Why can’t Kenyans build their own base?
What is the over/under on a CCP “advisory group” being assigned to the unit?
Barry Sotero continues to do the Mullah’s bidding with our tax dollars.
Why can’t they be housed in a resort so they can begin work sooner?
I can’t imagine Haitian resorts being full of tourists.
The first order of business should be hunting down Barbecue.
The Kenyans will never show up.
Why? Maybe he'll do a better job if he takes over Haiti?
