Kenyan-led UN multinational force faces criticism for slow, less decisive actions against Haiti's gangs six weeks after arrival.

Kenyan police officers, part of a UN-mandated multinational force, have faced pressure and criticism for their slow and less decisive actions against Haiti's rampant gangs six weeks after arriving in the Caribbean nation to assist. The Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission has led to a decline in criminal attacks in Port-au-Prince, but the war against the gangs continues, with challenges such as limited resources and equipment. The MSS, led by Kenya, is crucial in restoring public confidence and security in Haiti, and its effectiveness will be closely monitored by the country's government and international backers.
