As the World prepares to observe Human Rights Day on December 10, pressure is mounting on Kenya to speed up the deployment of police to Haiti to help combat the spiraling gang violence in the country.
In a special report by the UN on human rights, violence has extended to Haiti’s central rural region, an area previously considered safe from the increased instability in the country.
The gangs and those who support them have made farmers and the properties they work on the prime targets, it states.
The report titled ‘Criminal Violence Extends Beyond Port-Au-Prince’ details how criminal gangs and vigilante groups have continued to engage in murder and kidnappings in the nation.
