Kenya Prepares to Deploy 400 Troops to Haiti
--------------------------------------------

In other news from Kenya, armed forces are readying to deploy to Haiti,
with some 400 officers set to arrive later this week. President William
Ruto on Monday held a ceremony for the first contingent of the
U.N.-backed troops - part of a larger mission to combat worsening gang
violence in Haiti. Many Haitians have opposed the mission, citing past
international interventions that have contributed to political
destabilization and humanitarian crises in Haiti.
