Haiti PM in Kenya to Sign Deal as Gangs at Home Threaten Violence if He Returns
-
Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry is in Kenya to sign an agreement while gangs at home threaten violence if he returns.
-
A coalition of gangs led by Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier launched attacks across Haiti's capital starting February 29th, demanding Henry's overthrow.
-
The attacks have paralyzed Haiti, with schools, businesses, and public institutions closing due to heavy gunfire and destruction.
-
Kenya plans to send police forces to Haiti under a UN mission to try to restore order, though Haiti currently has no elected government.
-
Ordinary Haitians are divided on whether international police deployment is necessary, though over half lack confidence in Haiti's own police against the gangs.
