The fourth contingent of the Kennian police arrived in Haiti on Thursday to help refuse violent gangs as officials concerned concerns in some American financing on a mission without support.
200 police officers from the East African country are joined by more than 600 other Kenyans, which are already working together with Haita’s national police as part of the multinational force intensified by soldiers and police, Guatemali and El Salvador.
“We come to close strength, so that the mission can begin to give the results,” said Godfrey Mission, as he greeted new officers at Haiti International Airport, which remains closed for commercial flights due to the current violence of gang.
The latest installation of the Kennian police comes two days after the United States has informed the United Nations that it freezed $ 13.3 million for the mission as part of the freezing on the American President Donald Trump.
Otunge said on Wednesday in a statement that the amount frozen represents less than 3% permanent aid mission.
“I want to secure everything, especially the people of Haiti, that the mission remains in the way,” he said.
He noted that the United States and other partner countries still provide logistical, financial and equipment, with support that come almost every day.
“And the Department of Defense and the State Department continues to be actively involved in the (missions) of operations,” Otunge said.
The American State Department said he approved $ 40.7 million in foreign assistance to the mission and the Haitian police, including operational basin and vehicle support contracts, medical services and vehicle maintenance.
He noted that they were recently on Tuesday, now delivered “the long-needed heavy armored equipment” for the mission and the Haitian police.
“Haitian people need security,” said Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé as he pointed to the plane on Tarmuc. “This is all the equipment we promised to come.”
The President of the Dominican Republic Luis Aninader warned Thursday during the news with the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Haiti represents a threat to the entire region, including the United States.
“There is no time to lose,” he said he called for greater financial support for the mission. “Haiti drowns.”
Aninader also called on more humanitarian aid to the country who is wrapped to the violence shared by the Dominican Republic, saying that he would help alleviate the current crisis and stop the wave of migration that would affect American and other countries.
“There is no Dominican solution for the Haitian crisis,” he said. “The leadership of the United States is essential and irreplaceable.”
Rubio said that the United States is dedicated to supporting a mission without support conducted by Kennian police and invited to expand so that there could be efficiently to a gang.
He said the question of Haiti could not ignore.
“It’s a tragedy, it’s scary, and they need to deal with them. … we’ll help,” he said.
However, Rubio added: “I want to be clear; the future Haiti belongs to the people of Haiti.”
William O’Neill, the designated expert in Haiti, told the mission on Thursday, playing a crucial role in helping local officials to establish security.
“The Haitian national police are counted and interfered with gangs,” he said. “Stable and predictable financing for (mission) requires all countries to contribute, especially those in the region. More stability in Haiti will reduce the pressure for migration, which is in the interest in everyone.”
Previously, Rubio talked to Kenyan President William Ruut to thank him to his country’s leadership in Haiti, which remains fully operational, and Kenya role in the promotion of peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The mission, which began last year, fights with a lack of funding and staff as a gang that controls 85% of the capital, Port-au-Prince, continue to take more territories.
