Kenyan Police Sent to Haiti to Restore Order Amidst Turmoil
The podcast discusses the deployment of 400 Kenyan police officers to Haiti as part of a multinational effort aimed at restoring order in the capital, Port-au-Prince, which has been under gang control. Despite their mission of bringing peace and stability to Haiti, back in Kenya, police responded violently to protesters, resulting in the deaths of at least 20 individuals.
