Haiti is waiting desperately for the first members of a Kenyan-led multinational force tasked with ending the stranglehold of powerful and ultra-violent gangs, but their hoped-for arrival this week was delayed. “The security situation in Haiti cannot wait,” said a spokesperon for the US National Security Council after word emerged of the killings. A Haitian government source had told AFP that a first deployment of the multinational force was expected over the next few days. One big question mark now is how the gangs will respond to the arrival of the Kenya-led force. One possibility behind the change in the intensity of their attacks is that the gangs may be saving ammunition for a big onslaught against the multinational force, Da Rin said.
