Very similar to the Americans who have died in Africa fighting Daesh and helping your countries, RIP to this young man but stop complaining and do your part for world security.

@ToasterEclipse45 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Can we finally admit the president was right when he said Haiti was a 💩 hole coupty?

@tomhenry897 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Another UN success

@tomhenry897 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

How much did biden pay them

@dmastor April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Caribbean need to unite and end this. If they don’t this can expand to other surrounding countries.

@MattDiamondFlix April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Kenya has ZERO business sending uniforms to other countries. T
hey don't even take care of their own, let alone the training to manage this type of crisis.
These police were sold by their government!

@EternaResplandiente April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Failed country.
Kenyan police??!! What?😂 Hahahahaha

@xt2724 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Remember when they were under colonial rule
Everything was orderly

@wycliffeotieno4809 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

The thing is, the Kenyan Police have been sent to protect the interests of Powers interested in Haiti's resources. The president of Kenya is too greedy. Anything for the money while putting the whole country in jeopardy…

@PM-sd8vb April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

No! Ruto has a wicked voodoo contract with Haitian rooted in witchcraft! The missing bodies are being used for sacrifices! Those who have ears please hear!

@bbryant2485 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

The U.S. has sent peace forces to Haiti several times for over 100 years now. We cannot force them to be civil to one another and establish a legitimate Gov. They have to figure it out for themselves.

@christopherphillip9506 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Kenya went to Haiti with no plan, lack of personnel, intelligence and resources. Hence this failure.

@GmanSach April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

The Ayitian People 🇭🇹 Are Fighting Corruption & Puppet Leaders Imposed By The Western Nations Of America & France. The Ayitian People Are Fighting Sabatage & William Ruto Who Went Against The Kenyan Elder Councel Knows This. He Sent The Kenyan Police To Die When He Accepted Western Millions For This Suicide Mission.

Ayiti & Kenya Would Be Better Off Teaming Up To Fight Off The Corruption Of The Western Nations 🇭🇹✊🏿🇰🇪

@UrCacique April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Honestly call it what you want, but France being the ones who extorted Haiti for all the land had, I think France should be the main country helping out in Haiti not Kenya

@AlphaKappa-ci6xy April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

People in the comments degrading the Kenyan Police. Like who else is going to do this job? The west doesn't want to be mingled with the mess in Haiti. The Haiti police don't stand a chance against the gangs. What ever help Haiti gets even from Kenya should be applauded. Kenya has no skin in the game or obligations. They are doing what's right which is trying to fight the gangs and keep some sense of law and order if there is such a thing in Haiti.
Now if no one gets involved y'all would be complaining too.

@notapplicable4567 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

ask the chinese to help,

@uptownalleycat13 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Labeling the militia as "gangs" is nasty work.

@NoCal3838 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

I love it how the former Kenyan defense minister blames the issues on Trump. There really is no limit to the stupidity of TDS.

@malikroy9069 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

The widow was with the officer because of his job, that's the only thing she saw in him, now that her pay check is gone, she might have to work for a living or find another working man to support her.

@bobekvelky4129 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

they should not be there anyway. it is Haiti business only

@RB3565 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Bring our police back home

@Drclaudy April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

The Kenyan doesn’t make any difference, they are not taking any leadership.

@2Black4yall April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

I would just like to know what the connection is between Haiti and Kenya 🤷🏽‍♂️

The Haitian government and police are selling the gangs guns and ammunition yes you heard me right I am Haitain myself.

@Muigzspark8c April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

RUTO MUST GO

@MrJ2e April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

But surely if the UN can’t send soldiers to Haiti then what is its use

@johndolan-rl6qf April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

The Kenyan police presence in Haiti is a joke Some big shot in Kenya must’ve been promised or paid well. because it makes no sense from a strategic view

@shamisuth1247 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😈

@emmanuelgoldstein1918 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Where are the French? They have all the toys and capabilities, plus they speak the local language.

@treydanny5656 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Just give the gangs control of the government and withdraw. Simple. Nobody wants to fund this mess. Let Haitians deal with their own land.

@Chevy-o8v April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

They might as well try and take over the DR too

@G10squad April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

What are Kenyans doing thier aki ?😢😢😢 Kasongo is sick😢

@aleysibbs2461 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Man I just hope the Haitian people are doing ok, even though it might be hectic.

@naseanclinkscales704 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

You have to specify that the kenian was a farmer not a soldier. President of Kenya William Rutto is to blame. He sent the citizens to get killed in Haiti because of money

@kensonsunbernade1649 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

They see Haiti but they don’t know Haiti. Napoleon highest generals died there… The Haitian mentality is forged in fighting for their rights so they’ll fight forever.

@johnnytaco98 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

What is the value in stabilizing Haiti? There are no benefits to weigh against the risk. When Haiti runs well, it loses money. Low educated populace, antiquated infrastructure, and decades of corruption. What will any sacrifice obtain?

@juhegama64 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

So how is USA's problem that Kenian police went to Haiti. As a taxpayer, I don't want my taxes sent to Haiti or anywhere else.

@daowonimdee April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

I saw that coming from a mile away.

@6Dimensions-vf8vh April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Be honest with yourselves. The government of Kenya didn’t send those officers to Haiti to solve Haiti gang problem. They know it. It was a money making scheme. The officers took their chances to make easy money. Haitians knew the Kenyan officers were not going to solve their gang problems. The Haitians didn’t want a single Kenyan officer to lose their life for the cause of Haiti. That’s why the Haitian people were not supporting the idea in the first place. Why send the Kenyan officers to Haiti instead of sending Haitian officers to Kenya to be trained by Kenyan officers in Kenya. If the power that be really wants to solve gang violence in Haiti, why they don’t cut the weapon and ammunition supply to the gangs. Haiti doesn’t manufacture guns and ammunition. Anyone knows how much is a single rifle round? But the gang has buckits of it. Haitians had experience with foreign security forces go Haiti and do nothing to protect them. Instead the same security force that suppose to protect them abused them physically and sexually. Haitians called them touristas. They come to Haiti to have a good time and make easy money. To Haitians, this was a deja vu. My heart goes out to those affected by the death of those officers. They were very brave to volunteer for a mission like this. I feel sorry for their loved ones.

@cwilh6044 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

The u.s. operates with a complete lack of common sense. Cut funding to Haiti, sanction venezuela & nicaragua, increase the embargo on cuba and then wonder why ppl are coming to the u.s. it's asinine. If they left those states alone to operate as they see fit their populations wouldn't need to look elsewhere for security.

@tadhgcronin175 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

They should introduce the Bukele Cecot method.

@seabee2653 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Thank You Kenya 🇰🇪. Way to step up.

@ducamealy5652 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Right now, haiti needs a Duvalier dictatorship for 30 years. Peace and love.

@miwikotel6251 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

I think Kenya has enough problems. The French should pay Haiti what they owe. You can't send people from a colonized country to a country where people took their freedom by force, and expect to succeed ! Kenya please do not support the oppressor. Unite with Burkina Faso.

@reypettis2407 April 7, 2025 - 5:18 pm

Unless the Kenyans were going to go there with overwhelming force they should not have gone at all.
