Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Chérizier, a powerful gang leader in Haiti, has demanded involvement in peace talks for laying down weapons amid the country’s escalating violence and political crisis.
Haiti, Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Chérizier, a notable gang leader, voices willingness to consider ceasefire conditions if armed factions are engaged in talks to form a new government. With Chérizier’s groups controlling much of Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital, he anticipates heightened unrest ahead.
Amidst the power vacuum triggered by Ariel Henry’s resignation and subsequent gang influence expansion, Haiti faces severe lawlessness. Chérizier advocates for gang representation in future governance deliberations, emphasizing the need for inclusivity to quell violence. However, he opposes the potential deployment of Kenyan security forces, labelling them as invaders.
The UN describes Haiti’s situation as dire, citing rampant violence and humanitarian crises, with aid struggles exacerbating the populace’s plight.
