A Kenyan police officer deployed under the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) in Haiti has gone missing following an ambush, Kenya’s National Police Service (NPS) confirmed on Tuesday. The officer, whose identity remains undisclosed, disappeared while on duty on March 25, 2025, along the Carrefour Paye-Savien main supply route in the Pont-Sonde area, Artibonite Department.

In a statement, the NPS said it had been notified of the officer’s disappearance and that efforts were underway to locate him. “The Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS), in collaboration with the Haitian National Police (HNP), is actively conducting a search and rescue operation to locate the missing officer,” said Muchiri Nyaga, Director of Corporate Communication for the National Police Service.

The officer was part of the Kenyan-led MSS, which was deployed to stabilize Haiti amid escalating gang violence and political turmoil. The Caribbean nation has been grappling with worsening insecurity, particularly in the Artibonite region, where criminal groups frequently target security forces and humanitarian convoys.

The ambush underscores the volatile conditions faced by foreign peacekeeping forces in Haiti. While Kenya has committed to leading the mission, the risks to its personnel remain high. This incident raises fresh concerns about the safety of international deployments in the region, as well as the operational challenges facing the MSS in fulfilling its mandate.

Despite the crisis, Kenyan authorities reaffirmed their commitment to the MSS. “We commend the National Police officers in Haiti, who remain committed to fulfilling the mandate of the Multinational Security Support Mission,” Nyaga stated.

As search and rescue efforts continue, questions remain about the security of Kenyan officers in Haiti, the effectiveness of international collaboration, and the future of the MSS mission amid mounting instability.
