Haiti’s interim Prime Minister Garry Conille has vowed to end lawlessness with the help of a Kenyan-led international force deployed to the Caribbean nation. The arrival of 400 Kenyan police officers, in the first tranche of an international force, was a “unique opportunity” to restore order, Mr Conille said. The state will regain power and reaffirm its authority so all Haitians can live peacefully in this country,” he said. US President Joe Biden also welcomed the deployment, saying the Kenyan-led mission offered the “best chance” to achieve democratic governance in Haiti. So elections are to be organised within a year, and to allow that to happen, the Kenyan-led mission is being tasked with restoring security.
