Benin has offered 2,000 troops to support a planned Kenyan-led international force to help Haitian national police fight armed gangs, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield told a press conference on Monday.
The United Nations authorized the mission in October, a year after Haiti's unelected government requested it. The U.N. estimates the conflict in the Caribbean nation killed close to 5,000 people last year and drove some 300,000 from their homes.
