Kenya Police in Haiti Gets ONE More Year to Free Haiti from Gangs - On Monday, October 1st, 2024, The United Nations extended the Kenya-led Multinational Security Support or MSS mission in Haiti for another year, pushing its mandate until October 2025. This mission, which was launched to help the Haitian National Police wrest control from violent gangs, has faced significant hurdles but remains a crucial lifeline for the beleaguered nation. The unanimous Security Council resolution comes at a critical time as Haiti grapples with a surge in gang violence, with over 3,600 killed this year alone. Also, with two million Haitians on the brink of famine and over 600,000 displaced individuals facing catastrophic food insecurity, can this multinational effort bring real change?
The decision to extend the MSS mission reflects the international community’s deep concern for Haiti’s fragile situation. The extension was backed by both the U.S. and Ecuador, but a critical debate over whether to elevate the MSS into a full-fledged UN peacekeeping force was shelved. Despite advocacy from Haitian officials and the U.S., the move faced opposition from China and Russia, permanent members of the UN Security Council with veto power. Both nations expressed reservations, arguing the mission was not yet ready for such a transformation. The Security Council, after tense negotiations, adopted a more modest resolution, encouraging voluntary contributions and additional support for the MSS.
