Kenya, a US ally in Africa

The initiative seems to have its starting point in Kenya, a politically stable country with no open conflicts beyond the jihadist terrorism emanating from neighbouring Somalia. 

Tourism is a boon to its economy, which is among the highest on the African continent. Environmentalists consider it to be the country that is best at preserving nature and especially the national parks where some species survive on the brink of extinction. 

President William Ruto, elected by a clear majority two years ago after serving as vice president, visited Washington to negotiate with the State Department to send a contingent of troops to join those sent by Nigeria in restoring peace to the crumbling state of Haiti, in chaos after the assassination by terrorist militias of President Jovenel Moise three years ago in July.

Ruto, accompanied by his wife, was received with official honours and Joe Biden hosted a gala dinner for him at the White House, attended by several senior administration officials. In his speech, the US president praised the advantages of the increased cooperation between the two countries, thanked his colleague for the help that the presence of the Kenyan military will provide in restoring normalcy to Haiti and added that, although Kenya is not a NATO member, it will now receive the same treatment as NATO members.

Meanwhile, the situation in Haiti continues to worsen. Recently, three clergymen were murdered. The gang members, who have been terrorising the country for several years, increasing its poverty, are taking a step forward, becoming a guerrilla force, made up of hundreds of criminals who have already established bases, armed themselves, conducted training exercises and even adopted military uniforms.
