By XINHUA More by this AuthorKenyan President William Ruto on Monday flagged off the first group of 400 police officers, marking their deployment to Haiti to combat gang violence. The ceremony in the capital Nairobi saw President Ruto hand over the Kenyan flag to the officers who will participate in the Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti. The deployment has faced several delays and legal challenges, including being declared illegal by the Kenyan High Court at one point. More than 1,000 Kenyan police officers will join other international teams in Haiti to address the gang violence. In addition to Kenya, countries such as Chile, Jamaica, Grenada, Paraguay, Burundi, Chad, Nigeria, and Mauritius will also send officers to Haiti.
