US Backs Sending Kenyan Police to Haiti Despite Warnings of Abuse
NAIROBI, KENYA - As the U.S. government was considering Kenya to lead a multinational force in Haiti, it was also openly warning Kenyan police officers against violent abuses. Now, 1,000 of those officers might head to Haiti to take on gang warfare.
It's a challenging turn for a police force long accused by rights watchdogs of killings and torture, including gunning down civilians during Kenya's COVID-19 curfew.
