Haitian Gang Leader 'Barbecue' Warns Of 'Civil War' & 'Genocide'

Haitian gang leader Jimmi Cherizier “Barbecue” said on March 5 that the country would plunge into a “civil war that will end in genocide” if Prime Minister Ariel Henry remains in power.

Cherizier spoke in a press conference in the capital Port-au-Prince saying the federation that gathers Haitian gangs, Regroupement Vivre Ensemble, would fight to topple Henry and establish a new system in Haiti.

The 46-year-old Cherizier, alias "Barbeque," was formerly an officer of the Haitian National Police force. As a police officer, he is alleged by the United Nations to have played a role in multiple massacres, including the killing of over 70 people in 2018, when over 400 homes in the capital's La Saline neighbourhood were set on fire.

Haiti's Prime Minister Ariel Henry landed in Puerto Rico on Tuesday, as questions as to why he had not returned to his country swirled amid escalating gang violence.

Haiti's already fragile security situation worsened over the weekend while Henry was in Kenya to tie up a deal for the deployment of foreign troops to restore order. On Sunday, Haiti's threadbare government declared a state of emergency after inmates escaped in two major prison breaks.

Comments full of opinions, but no one lives there for the Facts. We are quick to judge when shown only one side. Years later, then folks see and hear the truth

Homie talking like he ain’t finna get smoked by the us soon 😂

[b.k.]

People supporting him doesn't even know what's going on in Haiti. Just as Churchill said, the best argument against democracy is a 5 minutes conversation with average people.
This man is an ex cop and he's just supported by some powerful politics man who fight for powers, just like all gangs in Haiti. They all used and financed by different political parties .

[crypticaddiction]

Im wondering why they do it, there are definitely enough reasons but what was their personal one and how many lies does the west tell like they did with irak, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Russia, palestine 🗿👁
