Haitian business leaders 'extremely concerned' over delay to Kenya-led mission

Haitian business leaders said in a letter addressed to Kenyan President William Ruto that they were "extremely concerned" over a delay to a United Nations-backed security mission his government has pledged to lead to fight gangs in the Caribbean nation.

In a letter dated Monday but distributed on Wednesday, the leaders of eight top business chambers said they were concerned as the mission has yet to deploy more than six months after its approval and as the end of its initial mandate fast approaches.
