Haiti, Kenya Establish Diplomatic Relations
MEXICO CITY (Sputnik) - The governments of Haiti and Kenya have established diplomatic relations and agreed to exchange ambassadors, according to the joint communique.
The joint communique, posted by Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry on X (formerly known as Twitter), read that the Government of the Republic of Haiti and the Government of the Republic of Kenya, desiring to develop and strengthen the
bonds of friendship and cooperation for the mutual benefit of the peoples of the two countries and for the common interest, have decided to establish diplomatic relations and have agreed to exchange ambassadors in accordance with the processes established through diplomatic channels.
In early July, the Secretary General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres urged countries to send multinational forces to assist the Haitian police in the fight against criminal groups. Later in July, Kenyan Foreign Minister Alfred Mutua said that if the UN issues a mandate,
Kenya will deploy 1,000 police officers in Haiti to train and assist the state's law enforcement agencies in normalizing the situation in the country and protecting strategic installations.
A delegation of Kenyan security officials
visited Haiti in late August to gather information on mission requirements.
Haiti has long been mired in a social and political crisis that escalated after the assassination of then-President Jovenel Moise on July 7, 2021. The country faced an increase in the activities of criminal groups, while the humanitarian situation has been further deteriorating due to natural disasters, such as severe floods, torrential rains and earthquakes.
The International Organization for Migration estimated in early June that over 165,000 people had been internally displaced in Haiti in the first three months of 2023 due to gang violence, murders and kidnappings, as well as a dire humanitarian situation.
