Haiti, Kenya, U.S. make progress on deployment of armed force. But there’s no date yet

Government officials from Haiti, the United States and Kenya have wrapped up a planning conference for the deployment of a multinational security mission to help Haitian police deal with dangerous criminal gangs, but just how soon forces will arrive in the volatile Caribbean nation remains unknown.

Neither U.S. nor Haitians officials provided a deployment date on Wednesday after confirming they had met in what one Biden administration official described to McClatchy earlier in the week as “an entry-level discussion” on the highly anticipated armed force — which still lacks international funding and clearance from courts in Kenya.
