The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

After several delays, the first 400 Kenyan police officers have finally arrived in Port-au-Prince to bring relief to Haitians, who have long suffered from severe gang violence. All eyes are now on the multinational force to restore order and deliver optimism and stability to a poor country. The world needs to act swiftly to stem the bloodshed in Haiti, and this will hopefully only be the beginning of an international humanitarian effort.

Africanews

Establishment-critical narrative

The Kenyan police force tasked with breaking the stronghold of vicious gangs in Port-au-Prince is an outsourced invasion funded by Washington. Since the island gained independence from France in 1804, the US has sponsored seven interventions in Haiti, none of which have been particularly successful, with sexual assault charges marring the most recent mission. There is a lot at risk here, and the world community cannot afford another failure.
