PHOTO/PrintThe United States has asked Kenya to accelerate deployment of police to the troubled Haiti, saying the Haiti National Police could crumble at any time if the deployment is not done urgently. “Blinken spoke with President Ruto of Kenya on accelerating the deployment of a Multinational Security Support mission to Haiti,” the Department of State said on X. The two underscored unwavering commitment to the deployment of a Multinational Security Support mission to support the Haitian National Police in creating the security conditions necessary to conduct free and fair elections. While Biden’s administration is committed to funding Kenya’s mission in Haiti, this has been met with resistance from Republicans. Kenya’s declaration comes after the signing of a bilateral agreement between Kenya and Haiti, raising hopes of a rapid response to the chaos that has settled in Port-au-Prince.

London – Officers arrested a man who crashed a car into the gates of London's Buckingham Palace over the weekend, police said on Sunday.

Armed officers arrested the man at the scene on suspicion of criminal damage and he was taken to hospital, a spokesperson for the force said. In the lead-up to King Charles III's coronation last May, a man was arrested for throwing shotgun cartridges into the grounds of Buckingham Palace. The same month, a 43-year-old man was arrested for ramming his car into the gates that guard Downing Street, home of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

PepsiCo’s “Tastes Ok” campaign, which saw Pepsi Max take aim at Diet Coke, has been named B&T‘s campaign of the month for February! The “Tastes Ok” campaign was the latest iteration of the established Pepsi Max ‘Tastes Better’ brand platform. This iteration, however, saw Pepsi focus on a “design flaw” in its biggest competitor — it doesn’t taste as good with food apparently. The campaign led with OOH activations, but the media strategy, led by PHD’s bespoke agency for PepsiCo, Trio, saw it roll out across print, display, publisher partnerships, an influencer program and social signs. The B&T team loved that this campaign led with bold OOH executions and its fun tone of voice.

Whatever Haiti’s political class determines as the way forward for a transition, multinational security support will be available to support the police and other institutions to establish order for a free and democratic election. PM Henry’s government, for more than a year, has been appealing for an international security force to help. Few nations are willing to step in to help Haiti, and the UN has said it would only provide oversight for the mission when it materialises. There will also be a need to do capacity building for the Haiti security forces because the goal is long-term peace and stability. But the officers can be a force for good in Haiti, and we should support their mission.
