Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness is sending two dozen soldiers and police officers to Haiti to boost a UN-backed mission led by Kenya to fight violent gangs. the 20 soldiers and four police officers are scheduled to arrive Thursday and will join nearly 400 Kenyan police who arrived earlier this year and are working alongside Haitian police and military, said Vice Admiral Antonette Wemyss-Gorman, chief of defense staff for Jamaica’s military. The Jamaicans will be responsible for providing command, planning and logistics support, Holness said at a news conference. Jamaica had pledged a total of 170 soldiers and 30 police officers, but Holness said it wasn’t possible to deploy them all at once. For more on the UN-backed collective effort to help retake control of Haiti from violent gangs, FRANCE 24’s Delano de Souza is joined by Diego Da Rin Consultant, Haiti Expert, International Crisis Group Consultant for Latin America and Caribbean.

Caribbean people don't like these African people

Who assassinated the pm and set this all in motion? Why is that not Top Priority? The breach showed western tactics and they spoke English, among other languages. The current pm gained the most, it seems from the outside. He had worked for the most corrupt pm in Haiti in decades. He was brutal, and fled the country (as did the current pm I believe) until this incident. Now he has been ordained pm, and has allowed the Kenyan ‘peacekeepers’ in the country. They are us proxies. We trained and armed them, they let us build a drone factory in Kenya, right?
