Kenya Prepares to Dispatch More Police to Haiti as Gang Violence Roils Communities

HeadlineOct 11, 2024

In Haiti, heavily armed gunmen invaded the coastal town of Arcahaie on Thursday, burning homes and firing on residents. The attack came just one week after gang members massacred at least 115 people in the nearby town of Pont-Sondé. Over 700,000 people have been displaced by gang violence in Haiti, triggering the largest food crisis in the Western Hemisphere with over 5 million Haitians — or nearly half the population — going hungry. Earlier today, Kenya’s President William Ruto met with Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille in Nairobi; after the talks, Ruto said he would send another 600 police officers to Haiti to bolster a Kenyan-led, U.N.-authorized mission to fight Haitian gangs.
