Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>At least 65 organisations in Haiti have written to the African Union following the recent news of Kenya’s acceptance to help in peace and security in the Caribbean country.<\/p>\n

The letter, which was published by Rezo No\u0300dwe\u0300s (One of Haiti’s news websites) dated August 10, 2023, stated that Kenya hastily agreed to get involved in the mission which the organisations jointly termed a ‘suspicious political adventure’<\/p>\n

\u201cNone of the countries of the land of our ancestors (Africa) must serve as a sounding board or armed arm of the former colonial, slave-owning powers, transformed into imperialist powers and today actively engaged in a criminal project of destabilisation of ‘Haiti, systematic sabotage of its sovereignty of which the American-UN occupation constitutes a dangerous step’,” part of the letter read.<\/p>\n

“Has the Kenyan government asked itself why Canada and other countries have, in fact, refused, despite pressure or advantages offered, to engage in this dubious enterprise?”<\/p>\n

Further, the letter says the approach of the leaders of Kenya is part of a logic totally opposed to what is proclaimed in the AU charter and that it is appropriate in this situation to invite it.<\/p>\n

“It is your duty to find the most effective strategy to explain to the leaders of this brother country that such a choice is likely to encourage, to reinforce in Haiti the already unacceptable interference of imperialist powers including the United States of America. America especially,” the letter continued.<\/p>\n

The organisations now want the AU to convince Kenya not to let itself be drawn into the matters of Haiti.<\/p>\n

“Did the Kenyan government take the necessary time, like other countries already contacted in this regard, to reflect on the political significance and disastrous consequences of such a completely suspect adventure?”<\/p>\n

The group also urged the AU to maintain the firm ‘regrettable’ decision of Kenya to persist in getting involved in the peace mission, saying the process is undermining Haiti’s national sovereignty.<\/p>\n

Kenya is set to send 1000 police officers to Haiti to assist in peace and security building.<\/p>\n

In August, a Kenyan security team on an assessment mission to Haiti visited the Caribbean nation and briefed President William Ruto on their findings.<\/p>\n

Ruto had during his trip to New York last week, agreed to offer assistance to the proposed UN Security Mission to Haiti which will be led by Kenya.<\/p>\n

Kenya will receive $100 million (Sh14.7 billion) from the US in support of its mission in Haiti.<\/p>\n
