HAITI: Second MSS deployment arrives as US shores up support
The second contingent of the Kenya-led multinational security support mission (MSS) to Haiti, which was authorised by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in October 2023, has arrived in Port-au-Prince, weeks after the arrival of the first [WR-24-25]. It comes as speculation mounts regarding further deployments for the mission which, due to number 2,500 at full capacity, is tasked with helping Haiti’s national police force (PNd’H) take on the country’s gangs, which staged unprecedented attacks in late February, effectively ejecting then Prime Minister Ariel Henry (2021-2024). Amid tentative signs of improvement in the security situation, a US delegation headed up by Washington’s top envoy to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, has paid a visit to Port-au-Prince in a further show of support for the mission, as well as the transitional presidential council (TPC) and interim prime minister, Garry Conille, which have the job of steering the country towards its first elections since 2016.
