Kenyan police arrival in Haiti marks new era for security, prime minister tells UNHaitian Prime Minister Garry Conille told the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday that the arrival of the first Kenyan police officers under a U.N.-backed mission marked a critical stage to restoring security in a country ravaged by gang violence. “The arrival of the first contingent of the Multinational Security Support kicks off a new era in Haiti,” Conille told diplomats in New York. Without substantial additional funding, BINUH said, the mission will be unable to complete a 12-month deployment, whose initial mandate ends in October. Most illegal guns seized in Haiti, and across the wider Caribbean, have been traced back to the United States. “We do not see the current embargo doing anything to prevent the flow of arms from the U.S.,” Nebenzia said.
