So London being a top10 global city means Nairobi shouldn't host?London already had its moment.Nairobi's selection is an opportunity to bring ē Championships to Africa.Kenya must address doping,yes,but don't confuse that challenge with denying Kenya its place in global athletics.
Sometimes the people working quietly behind the scenes make the biggest impact. His presence and coordination throughout the final journey showed true dedication to service. Well deserved recognition. Good job Nduaci
Did you notice that dedicated gentleman from the National Assembly? He likely works under the Clerk of the @NAssemblyKE.
I want to personally commend him for what he did during Hon. Johanna Ngeno’s final journey. He coordinated nearly every detail with such passion.
I saw him, he was nearly everywhere. From receiving the body of the late Hon. Johana Ng’eno at JKIA, through Lee Funeral Home, the requiem services in Karen and Emurua Dikirr, all the way to the final interment at his Mogondo home.
I don’t know him personally, but he truly deserves recognition for his outstanding service. @HonWetangula
Thank you so much bro.
@CaptainKipkorir@NAssemblyKE Sometimes the people working quietly behind the scenes make the biggest impact. His presence and coordination throughout the final journey showed true dedication to service. Well deserved recognition.
These are police officers who were deployed in the gang-plagued Caribbean nation, Haiti, to restore peace and stability. Most of you people said they'll be slaughtered like chickens. Here they're bold, strong, more experienced and above all financially loaded.

Kòm yon misyon ki vize pou retabli sekirite ak estabilite nan tout peyi a, GSF rekonèt gwo risk ak feblès ke dezas natirèl tankou sa yo pote, sitou nan kominote ki deja vilnerab yo.

The Gang Suppression Force (GSF) is already in action
United Nations Security Council Resolution 2793 (2025), adopted on 30 September 2025, UNSCR 2793 (2025) authorized the transition of the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission into the newly established Gang Suppression Force (GSF) for an initial period of twelve (12) months.
This transition reflects the lessons learned from the MSS mission and introduces an expanded mandate and strengthened operational framework for the GSF.
Expanded Mandate and Core Responsibilities
The GSF operates under a more robust and comprehensive mandate, which includes the following key elements:
1. Enhanced Capacity and Composition with the deployment of up to 5,500 uniformed personnel and 50 civilian staff that will ensure wider operational reach and improved coordination.
2. Independent and Coordinated Operations: GSF has the authority to conduct intelligence-led, targeted counter-gang operations, either independently or jointly with the Haitian National Police @pnh_officiel and the Haitian Armed Forces @MDefenseHT , with the authority to arrest and detain suspected gang members in accordance with international law and human rights standards.
3. Protection of Critical Infrastructure and Humanitarian Access with responsibilities to safeguard key facilities such as airports, ports, hospitals and schools; protect transit routes; and ensure unhindered humanitarian access.
4. Support to National Institutions by strengthening the institutional and operational capacities of the HNP and FAd’H, while facilitating conditions conducive to free and fair elections and long-term stability.
Establishment of the United Nations Support Office in Haiti (UNSOH)
A central component of the resolution is the creation of the United Nations Support Office in Haiti (UNSOH), which is to be fully operational within six months. UNSOH will provide essential logistical, medical, and operational support, ensuring the effective implementation of the GSF’s mandate.
Operational Continuity and Transition Management
The establishment of the GSF has signified a firm and collective commitment by all stakeholders to the principle that the people of Haiti deserve and have the right to live in peace and security.
During this transition, operations and patrols have proceeded seamlessly, with all former MSS personnel successfully integrated into the GSF framework, hence ensuring no security vacuum that could be exploited by criminal gangs. The synergy is uninterrupted and stronger than ever.
As part of this transition, the GSF is rebranding all former MSS social media handles, communication channels, logos, flag and insignia to reflect its new identity and mandate. Whereas this might take some time, our commitment to share with you the development remains. The flow of information to the public and stakeholders will continue unhindered and uninterrupted, maintaining the same level of transparency, engagement, and responsiveness as before.
The GSF continues to work closely with the HNP and FAd’H, including recent logistical operations supporting police officers in the Artibonite Region. Of particular note is the enhanced 24-hour security now put in place at the Hôpital Albert Schweitzer in Deschapelles, in the Artibonite Valley, which serves approximately 350,000 people and maintains a 200-bed capacity.
Reinforcement and International Support
The USA @USEmbassyHaiti has recently delivered 20 additional new Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs), with five already deployed to the Artibonite area, demonstrating continued international confidence in and support for the GSF’s mission.
These reinforcements highlight the GSF’s determination, under its strengthened mandate, to reshape the security environment and enhance operational effectiveness across Haiti.
Acknowledgement and Commitment
The Gang Suppression Force (GSF) extends its sincere appreciation to the government and people of Haiti for their ongoing support and cooperation. The GSF remains steadfast in maintaining stability and public safety through round-the-clock PHN, FAd’H and GSF joint patrols in Downtown, Kenscoff, Telcof, Furcy, Viv Mitchel, the National Police Academy, the Airport area, Delmas, Petit Rivière and Pont-Sonde.
As the GSF continues to receive additional equipment and logistical support from international partners and stakeholders, the it reaffirms its unwavering commitment to protecting Haitian communities and advancing lasting peace and security throughout the nation.

The Director General of the Haitian National Police (PNH), André Jonas Vladimir Paraison condoles with MSS family.
The Director General of the Haitian National Police (PNH), André Jonas Vladimir Paraison, together with members of the High Command, conveyed their condolences on the passing of Corporal Kennedy Mutuku Nzuve, a gallant officer of the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS).
Accompanying the Director General were to LSA 1 : Commander-in-Chief Berson Soljour; Central Director of the Administrative Police, Jacques Joël Orival; Inspector General-in-Chief, Frédéric Leconte; Central Director of Administration and General Services, Alain Auguste; and PNH Spokesperson, Michel Ange Louis Jeane.
The MSS leadership, led by Deputy Force Commander Colonel Eldon Morgan, received the delegation.
Director General Paraison expressed deep regret at the loss of Corporal Kennedy, assuring MSS leadership of the PNH’s continued support and underscoring the strong partnership between the two institutions. He emphasized that the entire PNH family is mourning alongside Kennedy’s loved ones and prayed that God grant them strength during this difficult time.
In response, Colonel Morgan thanked the PNH for their solidarity, noting that the presence of its top leadership was a powerful testament to the spirit of camaraderie and mutual respect.
The body of Corporal Kennedy Mutuku was airlifted to Sedimat Hospital in the Dominican Republic on Monday, 1 September 2025, ahead of repatriation to Kenya. Meanwhile, the two other Kenyan officers injured in the same road accident remain under treatment at the facility where they are stable and out of danger.
@SupportFAdH @MSSMHaiti The MSS operates under a UN mandate to support the Haitian National Police (PNH), not the Armed Forces of Haiti. Guatemalan MSS troops are deployed at the airport. the MSS updates reflect current work on the ground in line with THEIR mandate.
