"Haiti's Ongoing Struggle: Gangs, Violence, and a Nation in Crisis"

Haiti's most notorious gang leader, Jimmy Chérizier, also known as "Barbecue," is leading an armed rebellion demanding the resignation of acting Prime Minister Ariel Henry. The ongoing violence has paralyzed the country, with an unprecedented alliance between gangs launching coordinated attacks on government institutions. Barbecue, a former elite police officer wanted for human rights abuses, claims to be fighting against a corrupt system and for the Haitian people. The international community, including the U.S., is pressuring Henry to expedite the transition to an empowered and inclusive government structure, as the country grapples with a political crisis and widespread violence.
