STORYLINE:
A delegation of Kenyan police officers arrived in Haiti on Sunday.
Nearly a dozen senior police officers left the Toussaint Louverture international airport in the capital, Port-au-Prince, in armored cars heading to the U.S. embassy.
The Kenyan officers are on a reconnaissance mission to Haiti following the country’s offer to help the Haitian national police in their fight against gang violence.
On Friday, U.N. human rights officials denounced what they called the “extreme brutality” of gangs in Haiti, with thousands fleeing several neighborhoods in the country’s capital this week amid a surge in violence.
From January 1 until August 15, more than 2,400 people in Haiti were reported killed, more than 950 kidnapped, and another 902 injured, according to Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The eastern African country has offered to lead an international effort to help Haiti’s understaffed and under resourced police department.
With only about 10,000 officers for the Caribbean nation’s more than 11 million people, Haitian police have been unable to quell gang violence that has taken control of almost 80 percent of the capital.
Deputy Inspector General of Administration Police Noor Gabow, who is leading the Kenyan mission, did not return a message seeking comment.

I’m very proud Kenya 🇰🇪 police 👮♀️ became well recognized wow Haiti 🇭🇹 peace ☮️ is coming soon
America is doing a bad job at enforcing law and order at home. All that money to support another Haiti mission would be better spent equipping and training our own police departments. You can see headlines every day of incredibly heinous crimes being committed in our own cities. Haiti is in a worse situation, but the situation in the US is nothing to brag about, either.
YES
It ain’t Kenyan police it’s Kenyan soldiers military I’m Haitian and I’m proud of my Kenyan brothers forever gratitude no Haitian will forget this Haitians are loyal people I can promise your forever if Kenya have a problem it’s Haitians problems as well. GOD speed it’s time this beautiful island blossom and prosper
Thank you dear. We Kenyans want to see all black people prosper around the world. The time to start is now, even if we're all poor and subjugated.
They're police officers.
Those are just police special forces...if it was the Kenyan Army nobody would be on the streets 😂😂
Great news
I like this just like the Cuban medical doctors ..we are building a reputation in the world
Kenya to the world.
Kenya in Haiti and only offering minimum security not getting involved with the gang. NO country wants to help Haiti.
Haiti is no joke .ask the UN peace keepers.😎
@@mathewsotieno1422 you are correct Haiti is NO joke and innocent people continue to die . Thats F* up
Wamemlizana na Alshabab 😂😂😂😂😂
This video is slightly misleading, this were just Kenyan Police officials being escorted by Haitian officers. Kenya hasn`t deployed their international unit to Haiti as of the time this video was released.
Good luck from the Dominican 🇩🇴
The Kenyan's went home with this appraisal of a possible deployment: "Oh, FUCK NO!!"
If we beat Al shabaab, explosive-vest wearing terrorists that are not afraid to die then I don't think the Haiti untrained gangs will survive. The Kenyan spirit you see in marathons and other long-distance races is what we are taking to Haiti.
Respect for stepping up, Kenyans 💪
Frè Afriken yo!!!
Not yet sent
Good on Kenya
Will they send the famous traffic police department or recce squad
Recce
LET THEM COMPLISHED THE MISSION KENYA KENYA WE ARE THE BEST
Just a few months ago people in Hati was so happy about Russians coming and helping them, what happened to them? left?
Russia's busy.
The UN, US, France, Canada and still NO country is helping Haiti. All talk and NO action. Kenya in Haiti and only offering minimum security not getting involved with the gang.
@@juansoto1693 Lol, France and some European countries where there helping out but where asked to leave because they wanted help from Russia instead
@marekcracovia4061 US will not allow that.
@@juansoto1693Haitians made it clear they're don't want help from those countries because of the human rights abuse from those soldiers after the earthquake. Haitians need the help but sending racist soldiers to help people they look down on rarely works out well
Never will break the gangs
Kenyan police!!??? 😂😂😂😂😂
😢bad idea
Don't know what they got themselves into
Nah bring our soldiers back to Kenya
Le kombyen yo antre Haïti
Swahili meets Kryol and bumboclaat
lies
what is common to Haiti Congo CAR Sudan Somalia Zimbabwe Chicago Detroit Baltimore Philadelphia Bronx Tenderloin ?
...ignorance?
All invaded by dumb white men probably from Britain within the last few hundred years.
