The 1,000 Kenyan Police Special Forces will turn things around for Haiti. The Gangs are poorly trained, and most of them have never received any formal military training. They barely know how to use the weapons they are brandishing. These are merely local criminals who have no tactical or operational capability. Right now we have 400 Kenyan Police, who are doing foot patrols in groups of about 50 and this is making a huge impact on the ground. Calm and confidence is being restored. It is important that Haiti increase the size of its Police Force, and train more SWAT Teams. It is absolutely insane to manage a country with only 9,000 Police, and one or two dozen SWAT, with less than 20 armored vehicles, (most of them riddled with bullet holes) less than 70 transport vehicles, (most of these vehicles are in poor mechanical condition) no helicopters. The Police in Haiti are a big joke. They are simply poorly trained and under funded. If the International Community is serious about peace in Haiti, they need to provide more funding and better training to the Haitian Police, otherwise this will be a temporary solution as Kenya will not be in Haiti for more than a year or two,.
Blacks cannot rule themselves. Bring back their English and French masters.
How do the gunmen buy the weapons and arms?

World Bank estimations show that in 2021:
Poverty defined as living with less than $6.85/day increased from 20 percent in 2019 to 23.2 percent (equivalent to 350,000 people) in 2021.-
:
Over the last two decades, the Dominican Republic has been one of the fastest-growing economies in the region. This was due to a combination of market-oriented structural reforms in the early 1990s and favorable external conditions that supported economic growth.-
A middle-income country, the economy is based on tourism, agriculture, Free Trade Zone (FTZ) manufacturing, mining, real estate, and service industries.-
:
Why is Haiti so poor but the Dominican Republic is not?
:
But the main reason is not geography, but is instead, colonial history, the different consequences of Haiti being colonized by rich France that brought in lots of slaves, and the eastern half that became the Dominican Republic being colonized by Spain, which by then was poor, didn't bring in many slaves and was more
concerned with Peru and Mexico.-

Dominican Republic president re-elected amid Haiti migrant crackdown:
Luis Abinader wins second term on tourism-driven economic boom and pledge to reform public finances.-
Luis Abinader has claimed victory in the Dominican Republic’s presidential election following a campaign that focused on his stewardship of a thriving economy and a crackdown on migrants from neighbouring Haiti.-
Abinader, a 56-year-old former executive at his family’s tourism-focused construction company, won 58 per cent of the vote, with 70 per cent of ballots counted on Sunday night.-
During his first term, which began in 2020, the Dominican Republic overtook Ecuador to become Latin America’s seventh-largest economy, largely thanks to a tourism boom, with GDP a head doubling over the past 15 years. A record 10mn visitors flocked to the country last year.-

To supporters of Kenya's deployment to Haiti:
As hurricane season descends on the Carib, will we be sending aid in cement and building materials etc?
Or do we just troops around the World Mr Ruto ?
Your silence is deafening 🤔👆

Caribbean braces as Hurricane Beryl strengthens:
Caribbean nations are warning residents to make emergency preparations with a powerful and potentially deadly hurricane strengthening further as it moves towards them.
Beryl, the first named hurricane of the season, is due to make landfall over a number of islands late on Sunday.-
The hurricane has been upgraded by forecasters to a "very dangerous" category three storm – meaning it is predicted to have winds of 111-130mph (179-209km/h).
The major storm is expected to strengthen further as nears the Caribbean islands of Barbados, Dominica, Grenada and Martinique, among others.
Across the region, people are boarding up their homes, queueing for fuel at filling stations and stockpiling supplies and water in preparation for the storm.-

Please try to be informed before rushing into partisan views and positions.-
Kenya is a poor country ruled by some politicians who are far wealthier than their European or even USA counterparts.-
America has put $300 millon on a table for Haiti security deployment and a desperate President Ruto and his Parliament had to say yes, in exchange for $190 million of that fund.- which is also tied to IMF and World bank assistance already lent.-

Dear Kenyan's:
You have now just been entered into one of the most complex and ignorant endeavors, that you will find almost impossible to extricate the Nation from.-
All you supporters of this Kenyan led security deployment seem oblivious to some real issues.-

Haiti's biggest problem is CORRUPTION.

Haiti's GDP is in the Billions yet the majority of Haitian's descended from uncompensated slaves, still live in slums whilst some of the wealthiest Caribbean's live on this very Island.-

Haiti has an agricultural economy. Over half of the world's vetiver oil (an essential oil used in high-end perfumes) comes from Haiti. Bananas, cocoa, and mangoes are important export crops. Haiti has also moved to expand to higher-end manufacturing, producing Android-based tablets and current sensors and transformers.

How a country that was able to gain independence then turn to this is appalling.
love from god. Jesus Christ are lord and savior and son of god is returning at any day now. he will come in shout of the archangel saying your name and to come up here, with the trumpet blowing all across earth that can make a world wide earthquake. dead and alive will change to body like christ an rise to meet to lord to heaven, an being rapture ready simple an easy. 1. believe that Jesus died on the cross and spilled his own blood for your sins, was buried and rose on the third day from the dead in glory. 2. admit your a sinner and your need him to save you. 3. repent your sins on him and his blood and in faith and trust and believe in him to save you. also try in these last days to walk like christ, if you messed up or sin, don panic for your sins are payed by his blood. past, present, and future sins. his morals and ways are greater then are own and i asks you seek not sinning as possible to show god you care about him. his blood cleans you and forgives you of sins. Because as Scripture say. throw faith and grace you are save not by your own works yet anyone can boast. there be people left behind to face gods wraith and face the mark of the beast. were a person will have it on there right hand or forehead. it will be the only way to buy and sell anything. taking this mark is a unforgivable sin and forever dam to the second death. So if you stay behind don’t take the mark stay in faith to Jesus and resist cause they will chop your head off, let it happen if captured. For this time will be hell on earth. Lucifer will force you to take it. Do not accept it choose death. i pray you and many get saved and my fellow christians spread the word. Jesus loves us and nothing can separate us from him and faith and grace gets us saved. salvation and eternal life is a free gift from god nothing we earned or gained. Please it is important to spread this message to many. Jesus is your only way to avoid it. the signs are showing, more disasters and wars and suffering has increase dramatically. i pray to all see the true and believe.this is serious we may go any day now. Then are gonna get worst, soon even you will say "ok thats not normal". ask an he will help you. An keep your bibles safe they will guide you in grand tribulation and Lucifer will try to destroy them. once we leave there be ww3, attacks on Israel and must of major powers destroyed. For there be 21 wraiths on this earth 7 seals, 7 trumpets, and 7 bowels. that will make earth be hell on earth and most of the population would be dead so preparers you will not survived nor win against Lucifer. also there be two witnesses who will preach the news for the first half of the tribulation, kill by Lucifer and resurrected on the third day and rise back to heaven. there be disasters and plagues like rivers an oceans to blood, water turning bitter/poisonous and leads to some to death by wormwood astroid, scorpion with human like face and crowns will give those who have not accepted christ agonizing pain an people wont die when this plague happen for five months. scorch earth on the sun burns up earth, earthquakes tsunamis, will come on the earth and you be a hellish time to those left behind. an people who take the mark with have the worst punishing in the tribulation. At the end of the 7 year tribulation repeat at the end not during the tribulation. Jesus on his white horse wearing a white robes with garment in red saying lord of lords, king of kings and his saints (us christian who died and raptured) will charge and defeat Lucifer, his followers and unbelievers and he will be cast back to the pit and Jesus will rule us for 1000 year. then Lucifer will try again and god will stop him for good and he and his follower and people who are not in the lambs book will be cast into lake of fire/second death. then the new Jerusalem, earth, and heaven will come and god will dwell in us forever with no sin, pain, evil, suffer are all gone. You can be part of this if you trust in Jesus is blood and accept what he did. so do not fear for Jesus is with you if you believe what he did an his blood and claim him as your lord an savior. if you do this he will come to get you out of here and skip the 7 year tribulation. the bible says to know the season of the rapture and were in that season with ww3 near with both Russia and china plan to destroy america. Jesus wants you in heaven, it so wonder were there is no death, sickness, lost of lives one, no money or taxes, everthing is free. an al he want is for you to accept him as your lord, his blood, and gospel to be saved. he did all the work for you. god love us all an when you may have a 15 minute nuke warning yiu can pray for that time to repent and accpet christ, his blood, and gosple an amet your a sinner. were at critail lebeon will attack iserial maybe even nukes. spread the news far an wide.

Haiti 🇭🇹 needs to rebuild its Army and Air Force effective immediately to eradicate future gang violence in February 6 2026 by the guidance and support of the Kenya Military. Benin 🇧🇯, Nigeria 🇳🇬, Senegal 🇸🇳, Ethiopia 🇪🇹, and Ghana 🇬🇭 should help Haiti 🇭🇹 strengthen their police 🚓🚨 force, Army, and Air Force right now. Haiti 🇭🇹 historically is part of West Africa 🌍🇧🇯🖤. Great video
Kenyan police are corrupted they are also gang
Kenyan Citizens don't approve of President Ruto sending the Police to Haiti.
It wouldn't be a bad thing if Kenya were to take control of Haiti. They'd finally leave the rest of the world alone with authoritarian leadership since clearly Haiti is incapable of successful self governance.
Why cant they just use voodoo to sort it out?
Such hand picked stats without context are misleading and only promote further escalate the spiral of violence. Why omit the repeated violent overthrows by CIA and French lobbies of democratically elected governments that were finally investing in public services (e.g. Aristide) that were the most effective prevention against violence and poverty? Why omit that it was a previous Western forced intervention that brought cholera into Haiti?
