Chancellor Mutua emphasizes that this mission goes beyond language mastery, encompassing logistical efforts, the acquisition of appropriate equipment, and thorough personnel training. The ultimate goal is to ensure that Kenyan troops are ready to face all the challenges that await them in Haiti.

At the core of this crucial mission is support for the Multinational Mission in Haiti and a commitment to eradicate the gangs that have plagued the country for an extended period. These gangs have thrived in the absence of adequately equipped security forces to counter them. Kenyan Chancellor Alfred Mutua is confident that his country’s intervention can play a decisive role in eliminating this threat.

Mr. Mutua has also responded to criticism from certain segments of Kenyan civil society. He has emphasized that the gangs do not enjoy the support of the Haitian population, thus reinforcing the legitimacy of the security mission. Kenyan forces are not in Haiti to occupy the country but to work closely with local authorities and international organizations to restore peace and stability.

This decision comes in response to a request from the Group of Friends of Haiti, seeking to provide support for the major political and security challenges facing the Caribbean nation. Kenya has expressed its willingness to collaborate with other nations to successfully carry out this crucial mission, working towards stability and the restoration of order in Haiti.

It is important to note that the deployment of this multinational force will not proceed without conditions. The statement emphasizes that Kenya will await a mandate from the United Nations Security Council before proceeding with the deployment. This UN approval is a crucial element to ensure a legal and coordinated action in accordance with the international community.

Kenya’s decision to actively support Haiti through this multinational force demonstrates the firm commitment of the African country to stability and peace in the Caribbean region. It also reflects Kenya’s determination to play a leading role in international efforts to address global crises and promote cooperation among nations.

This initiative opens new prospects for collaboration between Kenya and the international community in conflict resolution and peace restoration in troubled areas. By taking the lead of this multinational force, Kenya shows its willingness to actively contribute to Haiti’s stabilization, offering a glimmer of hope for a better future in this troubled region of the world.
