Haiti PM travels to US as Kenyan police patrol capital
Haitian National police SWAT unit and Kenyan Police rush trough a steep hill to board an armoured vehicle after one of the vehicles broke down on a steep hill while patrolling through a neighborhood, after the arrival of the first contingent of Kenyan police as part of a peacekeeping mission, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti June 28, 2024.
Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille left Port-au-Prince on Friday, June 28, to travel to Washington and New York, as freshly deployed Kenyan police officers began patrolling the city as part of a U.N.-backed mission to battle armed gangs that have taken over the capital.
Conille's office said he would travel with Foreign Minister Dominique Dupuy, Finance Minister Ketleen Florestal and Chief of Staff Nesmy Manigat, while Justice Minister Carlos Hercule would stay as acting prime minister on his behalf.
