Kenya To Deploy Additional Police To Haiti In Support Of US Puppet Connile

Kenya’s President William Ruto is preparing to deploy more police officers to Haiti to execute U.S.-funded multinational security support (MSS) and U.N.-authorised peacekeeping mission to support Haitian National Police in fighting gangs in the Caribbean nation in support of the U.S.-inclined Prime Minister Garry Connile.

This was disclosed on Friday, October 11, after President Ruto met with Haiti Prime Minister Garry Connile in Nairobi following a reported armed invasion of the coastal town of Arcahaie in Haiti, which resulted in the burning of homes and residents being fired.

At the meeting, Ruto said Kenya would deploy an additional 600 police officers after urging International partners to honour their commitment to the U.N.-backed peacekeeping mission, specifically regarding the need for more resources and funding, which is expected to run out in March 2025.

[Sic] We are asking the international community to match their commitment and their pledges with the necessary action for us to be able to complete the task ahead of us,” President Ruto said.

The U.N. has $85 million in pledges for the mission, of which $68 million has been received, while the U.S. released $109 million of the $300 million pledged, despite opposition in the US Congress, from many Haitians and in the Kenyan courts.

About funding concerns, Ruto said, “We have a window of success that is evident from the operations that have been carried out already.” In contrast, Conille noted that he had recently been in contact with officials from more countries who were committed to helping Haiti.

We are talking to Brazil as well and Mexico as well. As was stated, El Salvador has recently, on the 3rd of October, recommitted. But you are right; we would like to see a quicker response, we would like to see more commitment, and we are going to continue to push forward.” he said, adding to Jamaican and Belizean forces who arrived in Haiti on September 13 on the same MSS mission.

Connile, who had called for more funding with his Kenyan counterparts, was selected in a hotel room in Jamaica as the interim Prime Minister on May 29, 2024, by a coalition within the fractured Transitional Presidential Council (TPC) sponsored by US-State Department, UN, CARICOM, OAS & CORE Group, replacing Ariel Henry, despite being a U.N. development specialist.

This selection borders on a conflict of interest as to why a former United Nations employee would be a Prime Minister to lead Haiti during its interim governance slated to end in February 2026, for Haitians whose last known elected president was in 2012 to choose a president.

Moreso, the said gang violence the United States MSS mission is meant to quell is a resistance-armed movement dubbed “G-9” under Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Cherizier, whom the United States deemed a gang leader to undermine his call for Haiti’s liberation under Western imperialism.

Critics from Haiti, in and outside the country, deemed the move by the U.S. and U.N. as a means to oversee the scheduling of elections to install a new president against their sovereign will following the July 7, 2021, assassination of President Jovenel Moïse by alleged Colombian mercenaries.
