Security Council voted in favor \u2063of sending an international police \u2062force to Haiti to tackle the rising levels of gang violence. This marks \u2063the first time in \u2063nearly 20 years that a security force will be\u200b deployed to the Caribbean nation. The move, supported by the \u200bUnited States and Ecuador, received 13 votes in favor and two abstentions from \u200bRussia and China.<\/p>\n<p>Deployment and Evaluation<\/p>\n<p>The multinational armed force, led by Kenya, will be deployed \u200bfor a period of one year, with\u2064 a subsequent evaluation taking place after nine months to assess the progress\u200b made. The exact timeline for deployment is yet to be determined, but more countries are being encouraged to participate in supporting Haiti. Funding \u2063for the \u200barmed forces will rely on voluntary contributions,\u200c with the United States pledging up to $200 million.<\/p>\n<p>Haiti&#8217;s Call for Assistance<\/p>\n<p>The decision comes in response to repeated calls for military assistance \u200dmade\u200b by Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry \u200dover a year\u200d ago. The nation&#8217;s police force has struggled to combat violence independently, with close to 10,000 active officers serving \u2062in a country with a population of over 11 million. The Haitian government has eagerly welcomed the vote, expressing their \u200cimpatience for \u200dthe mission to combat general insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>Solidarity and Hope for Haiti<\/p>\n<p>The vote \u2062has\u200d been viewed as \u2062more than a simple endorsement, representing an expression of solidarity with a population that has been suffering from violence \u2063for far too long. Jean\u2063 Victor G\u00e9n\u00e9us, Haiti&#8217;s foreign affairs minister, stated that it gives a glimmer of hope to the people who have been longing for relief.<\/p>\n<p>Extent of the Security Force and International Support<\/p>\n<p>The size and composition of the security force are yet to be determined. Kenya initially proposed\u2063 sending 1,000 police officers, and \u200dother countries such as Jamaica, \u200dthe Bahamas, Antigua,\u200d and Barbuda have also pledged to send additional personnel to support Haiti. The\u200c hope is that with a robust and\u2062 deployed armed force, the country can once again organize general elections\u2063 and restore peace and security after the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in July 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion<\/p>\n<p>The approval of an international police force to \u2064combat gang violence in Haiti signifies a turning point in addressing the country&#8217;s security challenges. The deployment of the force, led by Kenya, aims to restore stability, safeguard the \u2063population, and create an environment conducive to progress and development. As more countries join forces to support Haiti, there is renewed hope that the nation can rebuild, recover, and move\u200c forward towards a brighter future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haitians protest in Port-au-Prince on Dec 10, 2020, for their right to life amidst increasing kidnappings by gangs.
