The first Kenyan police officers assigned to tackle rampant gang violence in Haiti are leaving Kenya on Tuesday and are set to arrive this week, the U.S. State Department said on Monday.

"We hope to see further measurable improvements in security, particularly with respect to access to humanitarian aid and core economic activity," State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters

Kenya volunteered in July 2023 to lead an international force to tackle violence in the Caribbean nation, where gangs control most of the capital Port-au-Prince and have carried out widespread killings, kidnappings and sexual violence.

Some of the Kenyans are proud residents of the village where Barack Obama was born. /S

Kenyans can probably upgrade it to third world status. Some of those big Russian bombs would probably improve the country more quickly.

Or even Cuban or Venezuelan management would be an improvement.

Looking for a measurable improvements and they bring the police from Kenya to corral all the Haitians?

This is THE MOST stupid thing I’ve heard of.

Beside the fact that the Kenyans don’t speak creole, they can’t be expected to ethically police a foreign culture. It ought to be interesting.

Removed from the ethnic rivalry and corruption context in Kenya, Kenyan police might perform well.

How many spec ops guys will be there to take down the “gangs” that are now armed like light infantry.

I’d like to see their use of force policy if its written somewhere. But police tactics are ineffective against heavily armed, para-military gangsters!

Ever wonder why the MSM universally hates Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier? Operating under the assumption that everything they publish is a lie, I decided to do my own research, translating local Haitian newspaper articles from French to English using Google Translate.

What you're not reading in our gaslighting media is that Jimmy Chérizier, "Barbecue", is the leader of a coalition of right-wing death squads and they are killing Haitian communists.

"Barbecue" is Haiti's Pinochet. The only difference is that Pinochet tossed his communists out of helicopters. Barbecue eats them... but I'm willing to cut him a little slack. After all, it is Haiti we're talking about.

The Kenyan’s are in for a rude awakening. It would behoove DomRep to take a moment and strengthen their border.

The 1915-1934 Marine occupation and rule of Haiti was the best government they ever had.

Wonder if they got their training from old Mau Maus. In Haiti they may need it.
