• "I have listened to both the mother and wife of the missing officer, in Haiti. The pain. The hope. The denial. It's important to prepare them before the worst news, if any. Kenyans have normalized killings. Sharing body of Kenyan being abused is fine with us. STOP!"

Since the commencement of the Haiti Mission in June 2024, Kenya has mourned the loss of two police officers.

The most recent tragedy unfolded on Tuesday, March 25, 2025 when gangs ambushed officers in Savien, near Pont-Sondé, in Haiti’s lower Artibonite department. The fallen officer, identified as Benedict Kabiru, has left a profound impact on both his family and the Kenyan public, who are united in their grief.

Social media has erupted with expressions of sorrow and calls for action:

I have listened to both the mother and wife of the missing officer, in Haiti. The pain. The hope. The denial. It's important to prepare them before the worst news, if any. Kenyans have normalized killings. Sharing body of Kenyan being abused is fine with us. STOP!

@KenyanChron1cl

Our officers risk everything for peace. The government must ensure their safety and keep families informed.

@OMBANE001

Another Kenyan officer lost in Haiti mission. When will the sacrifices end?
