Haitians protest as final Kenyan troops leave

As the final withdrawal of Kenyan forces deployed in Haiti under the multinational security support mission gets underway, videos have emerged showing groups believed to be Haitian civilians protesting the move. Reports indicate that civilians blocked the roads opposing the Kenyan officers' planned departure saying they fear the end of the peace mission will leave them vulnerable to gang violence. A report from the Kenyan mission office in Haiti says the officers were forced to use helicopters after residents barricaded roads in an attempt to stop them from leaving. The multinational security support mission operation is now transitioning into a new framework following the united nations security council’s approval of the gang suppression force in October 2025.
