Washington, August 2 (RHC)-- The U.S. State Department says it will soon introduce a resolution at the United Nations Security Council authorizing a multinational armed force to be deployed to Haiti as the island nation grapples with worsening political instability and gang violence. 

Last weekend, Kenya’s government offered to send 1,000 police officers to Haiti to support Haitian police, an offer applauded by U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres. 

Many Haitians remain opposed due to the disastrous history of United Nations, U.S. and foreign interventions in Haiti.

In other news, the filmmaker, artist and activist Katharine Kean, known by her initials K.K., has died at the age of 84 after a long struggle with cancer. 

Kean founded the Haitian restaurant and cultural center Tap Tap in Miami, and her films celebrated Haitian history and culture.  She also documented how the United States twice supported coups against Haiti’s democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.  

Following the second U.S.-supported coup in 2004, K.K. Kean helped organize a flight that brought Aristide from exile in the Central African Republic to Jamaica.
