Kenya agreed to support the fight against dangerous gangs in the country, and President William Ruto offered sincere prayers to the officers, their mission, and their families back home as he pleaded for their protection.
As they left, a section of Kenyans sympathised with the officers, considering the previous warning from Haitians to Kenya to keep off their affairs.
In a video shared by @Kenya West, the officers are seen embarking from a Kenya Airways plane and starting to dance, waving a flag. They ululated and looked ready for the mission ahead.
The Haitians took videos of the police dancing as well.
"Kenyan cops psyche themselves up with a dance moment after landing at Port-au-Prince airport in Haiti," said Kanye West.
