Six months into the Kenya police mission in Haiti normalcy is gradually returning in parts of the troubled Caribbean country.
The situation began to change with the Multinational Security Support (MSS) and Haitian National Police's (HNP's) regular patrols in neighbourhoods such as Cité Soleil, Downtown, Solino, and Viv Mitchell.
These neighbourhoods were strongholds of the Jimmy Chérizier nicknamed Barbecue.
Open-air markets are operating again, street vendors are back in business, and small traders work without fear.
