Second contingent of police coming to Haiti in 'coming weeks

A second contingent of the Kenya-led multinational policing mission in Haiti will arrive "in the coming weeks," Prime Minister Garry Conille said on Tuesday.

The first batch of some 200 Kenyan police officers, part of a mission greenlit by the UN Security Council, arrived in June in a bid to work with Haitian police to stabilize the country, where gangs control some 80 percent of the capital. Conille declined to detail how many officers might arrive in the next wave, citing security concerns.
