 "Haitian gang violence claims life of Kenyan policeman")
Kenyan officials reported on Sunday that one of their policemen sent to Haiti to assist control the country’s gangs was killed after being injured in a rural operation.
The occurrence occurred in the Western Artibonite area. According to Godfrey Otunge, commander of Kenyan forces in Haiti, the police officer was evacuated out of the area and died as a result of his injuries.
Godfrey gave little additional facts, although the Gran Grif gang rules the region. Kenyan and Haitian officials did not immediately reply to requests for comment.
The death was a blow to efforts to reign in Haiti’s vicious gangs, who have rampaged through the country since President Jovenel Moïse’s assassination in 2021.
Kenya has sent hundreds of officers to help weak Haitian law enforcement. In February, 200 more police officers from the East African country joined more than 600 other Kenyans already working alongside Haiti’s National Police as part of a multinational force boosted by soldiers and police deployed by countries including Jamaica, Guatemala and El Salvador.
