HAITI GANG VIOLENCE AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF KENYA LED POLICE MISSION
The #Kenya -led #MultinationaSecurity Support Mission (#MSS) in #Haiti, launched in June 2024, aims to combat #gangviolence and #restoreorder amidst widespread unrest. Despite deploying over 600 of its pledged 1,000 personnel, the mission faces significant hurdles, including funding shortfalls, language barriers, and operational delays. #Gangs still control 85% of #Port-au-Prince, with #violence displacing over 700,000 #Haitians and worsening #humanitarian conditions.
Criticism includes the slow pace of deployment, underfunding (only $85 million of the required $600 million annual budget has been pledged), and doubts about the mission’s long-term viability. #U.S. proposals to replace it with a traditional #UNpeacekeeping operation have sparked debate, as the #MSS emphasizes law enforcement over militarized intervention.
The mission’s future depends on addressing resource gaps, ensuring adequate deployment, and evaluating its ability to meet Haiti’s complex #security challenges.

Strong security and development
Strong security and development
Ethiopia is a colonial state that thinks that it uses the river water that falls on its highlands in ways that are against international river law, by cutting off water from its neighbors and then selling it as water or crops and false development claims. The Gerd Dam failed, whether in generating electricity or even its multiple problems with siltation. Also, for the Egyptians, water is the secret of life, and whoever wants to kill Egyptians deserves to have his country destroyed. Ethiopia's problem is that it is a colonial state that occupies Sudanese lands, Al-Fashaga, Beni Dhangul and Gambella, and occupies Somali lands, Ogaden. Its desire to steal Somali ports and establish a maritime base that threatens navigation in the Red Sea and the Suez Canal led to the disagreement of all African countries against Ethiopia. Ethiopia has become an enemy of Eritrea, Djibouti, Sudan, Somalia and Egypt. Therefore, Ethiopia must change its aggressive policy because it will not be able to survive in a hostile environment. God bless Ethiopia with 950 rains. A billion can use what it has in agriculture, but it imagines that it is an empire, and geography is an enemy of Ethiopia. Just as the water with its high altitude made it difficult for it to communicate with its ambitions, it is connected to the sea through the ports of Somalia, Kenya and Djibouti, but it wants to occupy and brand new lands and ports for itself, and it believes that it is the Israel of Africa, and it is entitled to occupy it, and it does not see that the Israel of the Middle East is on its way to extinction because of its aggression. Even the neighboring countries such as Kenya and South Sudan wanted to ally militarily and economically with Egypt. The Egyptians are presenting a model of development and building infrastructure for Africa at a low cost and without political conditions, unlike the Ethiopians, who are presenting a model of state opportunity.
Thats a hardline stand. Dont you think using the resource sustainably will be beneficial to all. I believe that Nile Water resource should be enough for all. If the concerned parties continue chest thumping , it will only make the situation worse. There need to be a lot of compromises from the main pratognists, Egypt and Ethiopia. In the long long run , it will be expensive and unsustainable to continue with the proxy wars.
@@stuffworksexplainedSE2 Egypt no AGANIST dam we build dams in Africa ouin on Uganda and Tanzania also small one in south Sudan Egypt offer cooperate with ethiopia but they refuse they have dirty policy to cut water they do it with Djibouti somlia even kanya Egypt have longe history with Africa in support even Nile river countries we Evey year give 200 million aid in water management and energy I tell you GERD is FAILD and will not servive without Egypt stroke Ethiopia enemy for horn Africa countries now they need stole ports and land of somlia without any respect integerty somlia all horn Africa countries AGANIST Ethiopian policy
@@diaaahmed6734 I think the fights between the two countries is all about supremacy. Egypt want to control the region. It feels that Ethiopia is challenging that, especially with building of a huge dam against treaties that give Egypt and Sudan all the Nile Waters. Due to internal problems especially when the dam was starting , it could not effectively stop the construction. Talks were called but the parties could not agree , because of the hardliner stance. Declaration of Principles, (DOPs) somehow cooled things down but still did not address everything especially the filling and operation. Egypt claimed that Ethiopia is making unilateral decision, but Ethiopia says they are guided by DOPs. Counter accusation has continued up to the time the talks collapsed. The tension have continued to an extent that Ethiopia blamed Egypt of interfering with its internal politics including sponsoring forces fighting Ethiopia govt. This has escalated. Egypt is taking advantage of the tension between Ethiopia and Somalia over Somaliland navy and port deal, to settle scores. If not checked this will create proxy war and horn of Africa will continue to witness chaos. Egypt need to tone down on Ethiopia, it will gain more by use of diplomatic means instead of aiming at settling scores. Ethiopia on its side , also need to tone down and respect the sovereignty of Somalia. It may have done a lot in stabilizing some parts of Somalia but they may be lost within a short period of time. These fights are not neccessary, in the end there will be no winners, both countries stand to lose.
