The United States and Panama have proposed significant changes to the United Nations to bolster the Kenyan-led Multinational Security Mission (MSS) in Haiti, potentially increasing its size from under 1,000 to over 5,000 officers. The draft resolution aims to convert the mission into a full force in cooperation with Haiti’s government for an initial 12-month period.

• The proposal seeks to expand the MSS to 5,500 uniformed personnel and 50 civilians, funded by voluntary contributions.
• New plans by President Donald Trump's administration are driving the restructuring to combat Haiti's armed gangs.
• The expanded force would have powers to detain and arrest Haitians, akin to local police, and conduct independent, intelligence-led counter-gang operations.

Kenya and the State of Nebraska have signed a labour migration agreement, creating new job opportunities for Kenyans in the United States, particularly in the trucking and medical sectors. This initiative aims to address labour shortages in Nebraska and strengthen bilateral ties.

• The agreement was formalized via a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at State House, Nairobi.
• Bob Evnen, the Nebraska Secretary of State, praised Kenyans for being "hard-working, dedicated, and very sharp."
• The recruitment effort will initially focus on truck drivers, with plans to expand to nursing and other medical professions, despite increased immigration scrutiny under the Trump administration’s policies.
