Why is Kenya planning to send police to contain the anarchy in Haiti?

A controversial decision to send a thousand Kenyan police to gang-ridden Haiti remains on hold. Kenyan troops have participated in multiple international peacekeeping missions before, but sending police on a mission to the Caribbean nation is a first, and many Kenyans aren't happy about it. The government of President William Ruto says it is a moral obligation to help their friends where Western-led assistance has failed. But will Kenyan police be able to calm a country controlled by gangs?

We can't go if there's no government in place to support in Haiti and also if the people of Haiti don't want us there.... What would be the point?

[@davedurosier]

That is correct y’all cannot help and it’ll be a waste because the soldiers are not returning.

[@Mrs.T305]

Agree

[@decodedpsyop]

Kenya is the janitor of the United States

[@AI_theCreator]

This is a revolution Haitian just want US, Canada, France to leave Haiti alone. The people want to deal with their own problems.

[@albinosh4dow]

Don’t worry we are. Good luck 👍🏽

[@AAAA-sl2sg]

It is not in the geopolitical interest nor national security interests of the United States to see a prosperous Haiti. The first black liberated nation in it's backyard. This has been the center argument and concerns and talking points among the elites for past 200 years. Had Haiti continued on the trajectory of freedom, it would have created competition with the United States. The only reason U.S troops aren't deployed to Haiti now is because we in the middle of presidential election. It would look bad on media and world to see U.S troops killing black carribean people. This is why Kenya 🇰🇪 is willing to help do U.S' dirty jobs.

[@elliotleef4823]

Shame on Kenya for not seeing the truth. Only thinking with their bank account.

[@camsuzeg8717]

Haiti is devastated. It can use all the help it can get. Life there is unsurvivable

[@decodedpsyop]

Have you been there????????

[@bigzoe6639]

1000 soldiers is a joke don't do that 😂 you need over 5000 troops at least

[@davedurosier]

The gangs are not the issue. It’s the people that fund them!

[@spolybadpolobad9639]

""""No """where could Haitians or Haiti be recovered less than 😢😢in 50 to 100 years......😮😮

[@desmondburnett9286]

Give the $300m US to the haitians directly.

[@elliotleef4823]

No give 250 to Mitsubishi to build a Waste-To-Energy plant and 50 to the Ayisien government specifically for education reform. Trade schools, hospitals etc…

[@philomeneexantus2129]

We don’t want no hey!!!!

[@mercedes4328]

Kenya shouldn't send any officers if Haiti doesn't want them.

[@pvxmovies9611]

Haiti wants them; the noise against the deployment is from the gang members.

[@ahmedomarabdallah2052]

🤔

[@leninchigbu9006]

If the special police units trained by the Kenyan army have drones and 3rd generation security vehicles and IFVs they sho7ld be alright.

[@alexomar7464]

Never trust Kenya & Morocco in Africa

[@desmondburnett9286]

English speaking keyan going to french speaking haiti. Communication screw up

[@mattanderson5161]

Not french speaking. Creole

[@desmondburnett9286]

@@mattanderson5161 then worse yet

[@imani55555]

Again an example of having convos about AYITI without a Haitian insight. Yes there is a rep but you couldn’t find a Haitian to speak on behalf their own country. This is a micro example of what colonization does it strips the voice & power of a nation

[@vlema26]

Kenya Haiti needs your help desperately 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@davedurosier]

No. They can’t help us.

[@elliotleef4823]

Why don’t you help to build a better Ayiti?

[@elliotleef4823]

He is blind and so are you. It’s only the evil news outlets still talking about Kenya invading Ayiti…. Keep your eyes open, it’s all about war and money!

[@blakedullard3455]
