The UN Security Council on Monday night endorsed the deployment of the Multinational Security Support (MSS) Mission to Haiti, paving the way for countries such as Kenya to send their pledged armed personnel to the Caribbean country.
The resolution, 2699/23, was endorsed by 13 of the 15-member Council, including Africa’s representatives; Mozambique, Ghana and Gabon and now authorises the deployment of a Mission that had raised controversy on its legality in Kenya.
