They are involved in patrolling universities, hospitals and administrative areas,&#8221; Conille said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They are also up north to help address the threat with the gangs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution to extend the mandate of the mission for another year and rejected calls from Haiti on transforming it into a UN peacekeeping mission.<\/p>\n<p>A UN human rights expert who has just been to the Caribbean nation said the mission was inadequately equipped and needed helicopters, as well as night vision goggles and drones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS), authorised by the UN Security Council in October 2023, has so far deployed less than a quarter of its planned contingent,\u201d William O\u2019Neil said last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haiti&#8217;s Prime Minister Garry Conille (L) is in Kenya for talks with President Willian Ruto (R) Kenya has appealed for urgent financial support from the international community to sustain a police deployment in Haiti, which has been extended by a year.
