Presidential advisers held a discussion with the President of Kenya on June 19, 2024. They discussed the deployment of Kenyan special forces, which are still awaited. At the same time, the US government ordered the release of $109 million for the mission.
No date has yet been set for the deployment of the multinational mission in Haiti. The suspense only grows day by day in a country where the actions of gangs and their largesse to terrorize make the population believe that only the multinational force can bring relief. In view of this deployment, a videoconference meeting took place on June 19, 2024, between presidential advisors and the President of Kenya.
On his X account, the Kenyan number one highlighted the good communication relationship between the two countries. He also recounted his country’s interest in collaborating so that Haiti can restore peace within it. “We will establish communication channels as part of the continued commitment to peacemaking,” he wrote on his X account.
In the process, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinkin ordered the State Department to release $109 million in support of the deployment of Kenyan forces to help the PNH fight gangs, the US press reports. This decision, it specifies, aims to circumvent the blocking by Republicans of funds requested to support this deployment.
