Kenya Police on duty. 


‎Government of Kenya has deployed four police specialists to South Sudan under the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) to support peacekeeping and regional stability. 

‎

‎The officers, drawn from the Kenya Police Service (KPS), Administration Police Service (APS), and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), will serve for 12 months.

‎

‎The police specialists mission includes tackling cattle raiding and supporting efforts to curb inter-communal violence, which has been a key driver of instability in South Sudan. 

‎

‎This deployment of the police specialist to South Sudan comes amid rising tensions, with UNMISS recently warning of a potential full-blown civil war.

‎

‎Kenya’s contribution reinforces its role in regional security efforts as part of broader initiatives to prevent conflict and support South Sudan’s fragile peace process.
