Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Another blow to the Kenyan-led multinational security support mission, or MSS, which has been deployed to Haiti to combat gang violence.<\/b><\/p>\n

The MSS says a Kenyan police was killed on Tuesday in an attack by suspected gang members.<\/p>\n

He was part of a group that had been dispatched to recover a Haitian police vehicle that had got stuck in a ditch, suspected to have been dug by gangs.<\/p>\n

The MSS forces were attacked during the recovery operation.<\/p>\n

After initially being reported as missing, the MSS later confirmed that an officer by the name of Be\u0301ne\u0301dict Kabiru had died in the incident.<\/p>\n

Haiti\u2019s Presidential Transitional Council has praised what it described as Kabiru\u2019s \u201cultimate sacrifice\u201d.<\/p>\n

He is the second Kenyan officer to be killed in Haiti since the force began deploying in June last year.<\/p>\n

There has been widespread opposition in Kenya to their deployment to Haiti and calls for them to come home because of the dangers they face.<\/p>\n

President William Ruto, however, has reaffirmed his country\u2019s commitment to the mission.<\/p>\n
