HAITI: Reality and rhetoric far apart
At a joint press conference with Haiti’s Prime Minister Garry Conille in Nairobi on 11 October, Kenya’s President William Ruto said of the multinational security support (MSS) mission to Haiti, of which Kenyan police are the main component: “Already this mission is showing positive results, restoring hope and providing a glimpse of stability that lies ahead.” Few in Haiti would agree with this optimistic spin, not least as it came only a week after a gang-perpetrated massacre of up to 115 people in the town of Pont-Sondé following which the performance of the Haitian police and the MSS was severely criticised. The latest assessment on displacement in Haiti from the United Nations (UN) is equally sobering.
