Three officers in the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSSM) suffered injuries after an early morning attack by Haitian gangs, it has been revealed.
In a statement released on Thursday, August 7, MSSM disclosed that the attack occurred in Kenscoff at 2 am, after the forces, largely composed of Kenyan police officers, had responded to distress calls from area residents.
The Mission detailed that the attack was carried out to disrupt a planned Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) transition that was to take place today. "In anticipation of today's scheduled CPT transition, armed gangs had plotted to disrupt national stability and render the country ungovernable.
However, these efforts were decisively thwarted through coordinated, around-the-clock patrols and a strong security presence," the MSSM stated.
