What experience does Kenya have in Peacekeeping Operations?

Kenya's decision to lead the multinational force stems from its experience as a democratic anchor in East Africa and its active participation in peacekeeping missions in the region, including in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Somalia.

Over the years, Kenya has built a reputation for its commitment to maintaining peace, mediating conflicts, and contributing to international peacekeeping efforts.

The nation's willingness to extend its expertise to Haiti speaks volumes about its dedication to fostering stability globally.

Kenya says it is ready to lead a multinational force in Haiti. The commitment to deploy 1,000 well-trained police officers to support and train the Haitian police is a turning point for Kenya but will it be a turning point for Haiti and the people of Haiti?

Haiti has for a long time been the lab rat of international community where peacekeeping rookies come to play. they come, they leave and the nation remains in a condition that ex US president Donald Trump describes best.
