Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 76330, member: 636"] The US Secretary of State told a bunch of countries they need to throw more cash and troops at the Haiti security mission because Kenya can't handle the gang crisis alone. Marco Rubio was hanging out with Kenya's president at the State Department and basically said if just a handful of nations pitched in half of what Kenya's already doing, it would be huge for the gang suppression force they're trying to build. The UN dropped some brutal numbers showing over a thousand people got killed in a three-month stretch, with most deaths actually coming from Haitian security forces doing drone strikes and ground ops instead of gang violence. Hundreds of kids got recruited by armed groups last year, which the UN is calling one of the worst human rights disasters there. Rubio's pushing hard for a coordinated global response, warning that stability won't happen without way more international help. [/QUOTE]
