Security Council renews Haiti mission mandate, calls for more action against gangs

The UN Security Council on Monday re-authorized the deployment of the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission to Haiti for 12 months.

The mission was authorized last October to assist Haiti's beleaguered police force. Led by Kenya, it currently has around 410 police officers on the ground and is expected to grow to around 2,500. For now, the country remains mired in crisis.
