Former U.S. Special Envoy for Haiti Dan Foote said he believes there is a slight chance that Kenya’s plan to send 1,000 of its police officers to lead a peacekeeping mission in Haiti will be abandoned based on the African country’s president’s meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House this week.

In March, Kenya and Haiti signed a security deal that provides for 1,000 Kenyan police officers to lead a peacekeeping mission in the Caribbean country to address chaos caused by gang violence since the 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse.
