HAITI: On a visit on Saturday, Kenya’s President William Ruto claimed progress for Kenyan police battling gangs in the troubled Caribbean country.

But he is contradicted by United Nations rights expert William O’Neill, who warned  on Friday that gang violence is spreading.

Earlier this month, about two dozen officers from Jamaica joined the 400 Kenyans; the security mission is expected to reach a total of 2,500 personnel, with the Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Benin and Chad pledging to send officers.
