Which country is leading the Multinational Security

Solution

Recently, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has approved the Multinational Security Mission(MSS), led by Kenya, to restore security, protect critical infrastructure and control spiraling violence in Haiti. Haiti faced escalating gang violence, causing chaos and suffering throughout the country. A group of gangs known as "G9 and Family" disrupted the main fuel port and the Capital city Port-au-Prince, leading to a nationwide crisis. This has resulted in widespread killings of nearly 2,800 people, between October 2022 and June 2023. Multinational Security Mission: Unlike the Previous UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti that concluded in 2017, this new MSS will not be operated by the United Nations. Kenya has volunteered to lead the force, with support from other countries like the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Antigua and Barbuda. The mission aims to provide operational support to the Haitian National Police, enhance security conditions, protect vital infrastructure, and facilitate the conduct of elections. The force will have the authority to make arrests in coordination with Haitian police. Learn Along: About Haiti                             Capital: Port-au-Prince
