Kenyan Police Target Haiti Gangs

A new team of Kenyan police landed in Haiti on Saturday. They held a prayer service with officers from other countries on Sunday. The goal is to help Haiti's police stop violence and crime caused by gangs.

Kenya has sent 600 officers so far, and 200 more will go by the end of January. The Kenyan officers are working with Haiti's police. Schools and courts have reopened because security is better, but gangs are still a threat.

The police are taking away drugs and weapons from the gangs. They want to cut off the gangs' money. The officers are also talking with people in the community. They aim to build trust between the police and the public.

Keeping children safe is a top priority. The police are working to secure schools. They are also trying to keep kids from joining gangs.

Haiti's police academy has a new class of cadets. The Kenyan team is helping to train them. The cadets finished their program on January 10, 2025.

Some major gangs have been weakened. But there is still more work to do.

Kenya is devoted to helping the people of Haiti. The country plans to send more officers from different special units, including an all-female tactical team.

The Kenyan government believes in supporting people everywhere. The goal is a world where peace is more valuable than war. Every person deserves to live with dignity, no matter where they are from.
