Haiti's Port-au-Prince on brink of falling to gangs despite Kenyan police mission | DW News

A Kenya-led mission is fighting in Haiti along with local police against gang violence. But they're struggling and the realities of the dangerous mission are beginning to hit home. One police official has gone missing, another was shot dead. Is the mission proving to be the death trap that people were worried it would be?

DW spoke to Hassan Khannenje, the director of the Nairobi-based security thinktank the HORN International Institute for Strategic Studies, about the Kenyan mission in Haiti.

He explained that there was only so much the force of around 800 police officers could do, stressing that other partner countries needed to offer more support and equipment if they wanted to stop the gangs.
