STORYLINE:
The head of the U.N.-backed Multinational Security Support mission in Haiti reaffirmed the mission’s commitment to curb gang violence and ensure democratic elections.
Godfrey Otunga said the goal was to restore peace to the country.
Hundreds of deployed Kenyan police officers are working to weaken the gangs’ hold, which has intensified since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021.
The situation worsened in February when gangs launched coordinated attacks on government infrastructure, leading Prime Minister Ariel Henry to resign in April.
In late May, a transitional council appointed Gary Conille as the new prime minister. U.S. officials have urged him to prioritize establishing an electoral council as the country strives to rebuild its government amid widespread gang violence.
