Will adequate policing help settle Hatian violence?

 BusinessInsiderAfrica article on how the US/UN/Kenya and OAS is planning to expand police help to Haiti to fight gangs.

Kenya has had police there under a UN mandate for a few years, but were inadequatly funded and are due to leave.

More links on my Africa blog.

not a lot in the US news, where googling Haiti is mainly about Trumpieboy trying to send back half a million Haitians who fled that country, and the problem that he was taking funding from NGOs helping there. 

But now he is going along with the multinational effort to get peace. Miami Herald:   alternative link.


“The United States intends to share a draft U.N. Security Council Resolution with the U.N. Security Council that establishes a U.N. Support Office for a multinational security force in Haiti,” a State Department spokesperson confirmed to the Miami Herald.

something to remember when the left criticizes Trump for saying he plans to deport refugees and checking NGOs for fraud, or when the right criticize the UN.

Hey guys: Sometimes problems are complex but sometimes folks try to solve them.
