KENYAN PRESIDENT IN HAITI

Kenyan President William Ruto arrived in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, over the weekend. The Kenyan police force is currently engaged in battling gangs that have brought the country to its knees. Ruto disembarked and walked past armed officers on a small patch of red carpet flanked by Haitian officials. He then proceeded to a Kenyan base at the airport, where he met with the police force, a key player in the mission to restore security. Kenya was the first nation to send troops as part of a more significant effort by the U.N. to provide international support to Haiti, which has been mired in conflict and political turmoil since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021.
