In Summary


  • Azimio and Kenya Kwanza coalitions are among the entities set to appear before the National Dialogue Committee at Bomas.
  • The two sides will make submissions on the issues set for dialogue by the Committee.

The United Nations Security Council will on Monday, October 2, vote on a resolution that will see a non-UN multinational force led by Kenya deployed to Haiti to combat gangs and restore security.

The council will develop the framework for and authorize a one-year deployment of an international force, with a review after nine months.

If approved by the UN, Kenya will deploy its force to Haiti by January 2024.

Leaders of the mission would be required to inform the council of the mission's goals, rules of engagement, financial needs and other matters before a full deployment.
