Kenyan officers deployed in Haiti have been given a major boost after the United Nations approved an extension of the political mandate in the troubled Caribbean nation.
On Monday, the United Nations Security Council voted unanimously to extend the mandate of its political mission in Haiti, affirming the importance of the office in supporting ongoing efforts to stabilise the country both politically and in terms of security.
The new mandate could pave the way for Kenyan officers to receive a boost or an extension to their deployment, which was initially set to end in October 2025.
However, it remains unclear whether the mission itself will be formally extended.
