Kenya-Led Mission in Haiti Faces Challenges Amid U.S. Diplomatic Visit
Secretary of State Blinken shows support for Haiti's interim government and international policing efforts.
- The Kenya-led Multinational Security Support mission in Haiti is currently underfunded and understaffed.
- U.S. and Canada have provided significant financial backing, with the U.S. contributing over $300 million.
- The mission aims to stabilize Haiti and combat gang control, but progress has been slow.
- Secretary Blinken's visit highlights U.S. commitment despite the mission's limited impact so far.
- Plans to potentially transform the mission into a formal U.N. peacekeeping operation are under discussion.
