Good on Kenya for actually walking the walk when they say black lives matter.

Can't keep peace in Kenya tho'
So sad for our brothers and sisters b ing taken to Haiti. How I wish our president would send his own children first as an example.
Kenyan law enforcement, to be blunt, isn’t hampered by the social implications of taking care of a problem.
Anything wrong with stabilizing peace with help, he seems to be a smart man knowing what his doing. Love and prayers to the Kenya
Ruto is articulate and presents himself well. Why can't the U.S. - out of 355 million people - find a president who is both honest, and can speak with a teleprompter or just make us sick with his complaining?

Ruto is a literal war criminal
Ridiculous masquerade ! Why no Haitian officials representing… Haitian population did not ask for This type of help. They were not given choice to vote in a referendum They need US to stop flow of weapons and ammunition leaving US ports to private ports in Haiti. Haitians are TIRED of forces. They need IS to help them get rid of the very well known corrupted anti patriotic Haitian leaders and businessmen. Kenya is not the solution here. Your police is known to be ruthless and abusif. Haiti is a sovereign country they need to respect this.

He is just another thief, all what he wants is American $$$. Ruto was involved in extrajudicial killing in Kenya in 2017 Kenya elections
Not asked: French is spoken in Haiti and English in Kenya. Do the Kenyan soldiers know French and, if not, how do they plan to communicate with the Haitians?

kenya invaded somalia in 2011 but they dont speak the language and they still have 6000 troops 2024 there. US invaded afganistan, somalia, iraq and others not caring about language barriers. its business, kenya gets paid to invade and keep the US relevant

This is a grave mistake for Ruto . Problems of Haiti cannot be solved by conflict but rather through diplomacy and dialogue, Kenya has its own problems of hunger, civil wars among others which are not dealt with.

These days, Abiy Ahmed is fuming with anger and burning with jealousy of William Ruto, when he sees that he is being increasingly sidelined in the international diplomatic arena, while Ruto is cementing his leadership in the horn. Down with Abiy - the brutal dictator!

Kenya has always done peace keeping operations. They were in East Timor, Yugoslavia, Liberia, DRC Congo, Siera Leone, Namibia, South Sudan, Eritrea and they have been in other hot spots all over the world. Why should Haiti be an exception?
Even the USA journalist could manage him this sugoi son is just great
And he flew on a private jet with his delegation costing well over a million, instead of taking a commercial flight with Kenya Airways or another airline. Last time I ever donate any money to African charities and their corrupt countires

GUILT IS WRITTEN ALL OVER THIS FACE
Kenyan security forces were once deployed in East Timor , Yugoslavia and Iraq as UN observers. Yes, they have operated outside Africa. In Haiti, they will speak to the bad guys with small, soft voices. But remember, they carry Huge RUNGUS- just ask the bandits in Siera Leone.

People speak about Haiti as if it is the most dangerous place in the world. The actual most dangerous place in the world is Somalia by every metric and this is where Kenya has been fighting and is on the cusp of completely disbanding the threat there. Why doesn't anyone say this. If there is anyone who has experience enough to deal with the most extreme dangers possible today. Trust in those tough Kenyans. Without the resources he likes of what the US has Kenya maintains peace and stability in its entire region. This is why US respects Kenya's capabilities and achievements. I would much rather have a nation with little to no agendas with Haiti than any of the world powers who always are in it for some overt agenda.

Those criticizing Ruto don't know how opportunity presents itself, And Ruto clearly understand this that opportunity always presents itself like a problem. And this is our opportunity to take it by force. Just imagine if Kenya restore Haiti back,we will be in the big boys table calling shots and deciding what will be in the next menu. We shall be respected world wide. We shall gain military equipment at our disposal, we shall if not be a member of NATO & boy no country will dare attack us. Haiti could be the gate pass to our closed door of opportunity that we have been waiting for so long to be opened & blessings and wealth to come to our nation. Remember days that you did something then after several years passed you recall that action u did & u say boy I didn't know that was going to be a blessing in disguise so let's empress this Haiti peace restoration process & close our hands for the best.
Haiti is the Vietnam of our decade.
