“At 18:30 Haiti time yesterday, the last and final contingent of Ken-Pol to the UNSC- mandated Multinational Security Mission lifted off the ground at Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP) on a special KQ home bound flight.
The officers, having been in theatre for 22 months, served diligently, with valour and fidelity to their mandate, and have earned our country a place of pride among the community of nations. Importantly, they have lit a candle of hope for our sisterly nation of Haiti and laid a foundation for the next phase of its stabilization.
I am proud to have chaired the interagency working group on Haiti. Congratulations team, for a mission well executed and accomplished.
Our national carrier, KQ – the Pride of Africa has been an invaluable partner in this mission, conveying our officers both ways…Today, at 18:28 she touched down at JKIA having conveyed the Force Commander and his troops back home! asanteni sana!” she said
