Haiti unrest: Sky meets Haiti's notorious gang leader ‘Barbecue’

Sky News' Stuart Ramsay reports from one of the most lawless places on earth - the Caribbean island of Haiti which is beset by violence, poverty and a cholera outbreak.

Our chief correspondent meets one gang leader - a former policeman who's the subject of UK sanctions.

As foreign nations talk of an intervention, the groups warn that this would lead to even worse bloodshed.

I am Dominican 🇩🇴and my heart goes out for my Haitian brothers and sister. If it wasn’t for that gang leader those ppl will not be safe

[Bloodyshadow]

My mom died I couldn’t even go to her funeral cause the country is so dangerous and everybody feared for my safe return smh the worst feeling ever I’ll never see her again

[thandomvimbi]

RIP to the guy who Barbacue dealt with after finishing the interview

Only certain people could live in a situation like that and still smile

[ancestrallight]

Sky, do some more in-depth research in order to find the root cause of the problem. Who are arming and financing those gangs? Who benefits from Haiti’s instability and chaos?. As a Haitian-American, I’m willing to meet and discuss the former and latter.

omg I have hope that one day it will get better, my heart has been aching since the 90's for my brother's and sisters🙏🏾

If a movie had to be made about his life, Forest Whitaker can play a good role. I need to share the link of my other socials to make this viral 🤣.

[sharonnicholson]

My thoughts and prayers are with people in countries like this

[ubuntubantu]

I think this is what gangster rappers imagine themselves be like when they rap those horrible lyrics. Humanity wasnt meant to live or go through this messy situation. Somebody save Haiti from this asap

[RS-hrmj]

This guy could easily work as Forrest Whittaker's stunt double.

[daviddalrymple]

Have never seen a country in so much turmoil, oh my God help us

[Thankyou.]

Just feel so awful for the people living there.

[batccrew]

I'm botn in the middle of the civil war in 96 and several years as past and I'm still hoping that theirs one family member still alive🙏🏿

[ayiti]

BBQ's area is actually cleaner than the rest of the city.

[bubba]

With Rival gang leaders Grill & Rotisserie controlling large areas, I just hope BBQ can stand the heat.

[sanidas]

Thoughts and prayers are with the suffering. Haiti may need a temporary intervention...unfortunately.

[ronaldgreenjr]

Our gang leaders in the USA have badges and some call themselves politicians
