The United States government has commended Kenyan police participating in the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti for their effective efforts against gang violence. Despite this praise, the US plans to significantly alter the mission, including potentially removing Kenya from its leading role and increasing troop numbers.

• The US Ambassador in Haiti, Henry Wooster, stated that Kenyan police "have done everything we have asked them to do."
• The US intends to double the number of troops and increase resources and personnel for the MSS mission.
• The proposed changes include a resolution to the United Nations Security Council to modify the mission's structure and support.
