Kenya Volunteered to Fight Haiti's Gangs. It Might be Losing the Battle...

And now we turn our attention to Haiti. In recent weeks, the appearance of Kenya on the news has mostly been linked to the mass protests rocking the African nation. Back on June the 25th, a crowd stormed and ransacked the parliament building, part of an outpouring of rage against an unpopular bill forced through by Prime Minister William Ruto.

Undoubtedly, these are important events, so important that we dedicated a whole segment to them in a recent episode of the Situation Room. Yet, as significant as the protesters are, they've tended to obscure another vital story that Nairobi is playing a lead role in.

The story taking place, not in Kenya itself, but in a country some 12,000 kilometers away, a story known as the multinational security support mission to Haiti.
