The Kenyan police contingent deployed to Haiti has received substantial support from the United States government to aid their efforts in combating local gang activities.
On Friday, the officers received a shipment of military equipment through the US embassy in Port-au-Prince. This shipment included weapons and an armoured personnel carrier (APC) designed for transporting personnel and equipment during combat operations. In addition to the military hardware, the US has provided the Kenyan force with a well-equipped restaurant, washing machines, and other essential supplies to enhance their living conditions and operational capabilities. The Kenyan base in Haiti has also been furnished with a fully stocked medical camp to address any emergency medical needs that may arise during their mission.
The officers have been granted access to Wi-Fi connectivity within their base to facilitate communication with their families back home. Recently, controversy arose when Kenyan police officers were observed guarding the US Embassy in Port-au-Prince. Addressing this issue, the mission's commander, Godfrey Otunga, clarifies that the troops were not permanently assigned to embassy security. Rather, they were escorting him and other leaders to a meeting where they were scheduled to collect the donated American equipment. Otunga explains that the troops remained outside the Embassy during the meeting, ready to escort the leaders back to their station upon conclusion.
He emphasizes that this is a routine procedure and should not be misconstrued as a primary responsibility at the Embassy. The deployment of Kenyan police officers to Haiti is part of a broader international effort to address the security challenges in the Caribbean nation. President William Ruto officially dispatched the first contingent of officers on June 24, following an agreement between the Kenya Kwanza administration and the United States. Kenya plans to send additional troops who will collaborate with teams from other nations including Jamaica, Grenada, Paraguay, Burundi, Chad, Nigeria, and Mauritius. This multinational effort aims to stabilize the security situation in Haiti and combat the influence of local gangs.

There’s always going to be a idiot with negativity, they can’t see the struggle and the affects on the people the only people against the Kenyans and the multinational force is the sympathizers and supporters of the gangs and criminals. Majority I haven’t seen one person interviewed from Haiti that’s against the deployments except for the stinking gangs!!!
STUPIDITY has no cure you name alone portrays it.March your loser ass to Haiti are you not in America AND HELP LIBERATE these cannibals .You are clueless on why no other country is willing to sacrifice their troops yet you open your smelly trap.Stupid Kenyans displaying their ignorance and low IQ
Coffins ⚰️?
Bolster with US Policemen?
The US is very close to Haiti. They can go home on weekends.
Why isn’t America sending their troops ?
I didn’t know the Americans, French, Canadians and Dominicans were killing, raping, stealing and looting in Haiti.
What the writer is referring to are Bradley fighting vehicles! These vehicles are tough cookies in combat and with other superior weapons, should easily clear up Haiti criminals in combat!!!
Shenzi wewe do you know what a Bradley is?
No at all mathafaka! But your gangs are being neutralized!!!

Wish the Kenyan troops well in pursuit for peace for Haiti. Stay alert and vigilant at all times, those flying bullets got no names until they land. Unfortunately you may be the target.
The two worst institutions made by crooked men ARE:
1. Religion
2. Politics.
Why? Bothe institutions do not apply "Critical Thinking Skills."
What is Critical thinking?
It is the ability to analyze all FACTS OBJECTIVELY and form A RATIONAL NON-BIASED JUDGEMENT.
Where do they apply critical thinking? Mjuaji wewe.
Ndugu @ Kithoi:
Read again the definition of the construct, "Critical Thinking."
CRITICAL THINKING
Critical Thinking is the ability to analyze all facts objectively and form a rational non-biased judgement.
Both constructs (religion and politics) are based on emotions. Emotions lack logic. Look back in the USA and remember what happened on Wednesday, January 06, 2021 when emotions took over in Capitol Building after Donald Trump lied to the American people and the world that he had won the 2020 election! He (Donald) followed the directions laid down before by Dr. Joseph Goebbels the propaganda minister during the reign of Adolf Hitler. Joseph said that a lie remains a lie until you repeat it so many times and then it is transformed into the truth.
Millions of innocent citizens around the world have lost their lives as a result of human conflicts emanating from politics and religion.
To all the busybodies comments of hatred towards white and brown people:
WHEN WILL BLACK PEOPLE GRAB THEIR SELF CREATED PROBLEMS BY THE HORNS AND SOLVE THEIR DAMN PROBLEMS WITHOUT WAITING FOR OTHERS TO COME TO SOLVE THEIR OWN SELF CREATED DAMN PROBLEMS???!!!
Always pointing them damn lazy fingers towards someone else!!!
Haiti is a black peoples problem, primarily, the rest are just a willing participants!!!
Barbecue the criminal gang leader is already feeling the heat, talking about ending mafia war, but Barbecue the criminal gangs leader needs to be barbecued!!!!
Yah you can use US equipment as if that will keep you alive🙊 .Kenyan lives are no less valuable than US lives.The USA and France is responsible for what is going on in Haiti they should take full responsibility and not expect innocent outsiders to loose their lives to keep up a front that they are actually helping.Apparently some Kenyans have already been killed and few if any of the major news outlets have reported this.Let the country 🔥 if the Haitians cannot help themselves.
