KENYAN OFFICER KILLED IN HAITI: BRING OUR BOYS HOME!

So another Kenyan police officer who was sent to Haiti has - it seems increasingly likely - been killed. His body is missing, but video has emerged purporting to show his gangland captors physically abusing it - though a spokesman for the Multinational Security Support force has suggested (without evidence) that the clip is fake. The sickening footage brings into sharp relief the futility of this mission, which President William Ruto insisted on embarking upon against the counsel of his people and High Court - not to mention the Haitians themselves. As African Stream’s William Sakawa explains in his latest video, the question of resolving Haiti’s problems - including the rampant gang violence - can never be a mere policing issue. That’s because they’re systemic. It will require the likes of France and the US to make amends for their centuries of destabilisation of the island to truly address them.
