Canada on sidelines as Haiti finally gets an armed intervention against gang violence

Police stand guard as as former Haitian president Michel Martelly leaves after appearing before the investigating judge in the case of the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise in Port-au-Prince, Haiti on Oct. 3, 2023.

This week, the UN Security Council authorized a multinational security force for Haiti. Kenya, rather than Canada, will be leading the force. Canada was under pressure during the past two years from the Biden administration in the U.S., the UN, Caribbean allies and others to take the lead — but it didn't want to.
