The representative of Kenya said: “We are pleased to confirm to the Council that the deployment of the first contingent by Kenya has taken effect.” On 25 June, the first Kenyan police contingent of the multinational security support mission, comprising 200 formed police units, arrived in Port-au-Prince.
Since its arrival, the contingent has held operational meetings with the Haitian National Police and commenced joint operations, conducting several key assessments to guide the mission’s operations. A delegation of senior Kenyan officials has engaged in discussions with various Haitian stakeholders. At the operational level, the team has held numerous meetings, including with the country’s leadership and its National Police.
In any case, the leaders welcomed the deployment of the first contingent of the multinational security support mission, expressing hope that the mission would support the Haitian National Police in the fight to eradicate gangs, restore public security, build safer neighborhoods, and ensure free, fair, and credible elections.
Additionally, Haiti’s interim Prime Minister announced a robust strategy to free the country from gang control, reaffirming the government’s commitment to working closely with the Haitian National Police and newly arrived Kenyan forces. Calling for “the conversion of promises into concrete support,” she urged states to step up their support for the mission and the Haitian people. She also called for better coordination with BINUH on the ground to ensure seamless interoperability in the provision of humanitarian access.
