"Haiti's Political Turmoil: Gang Leader Seeks Revolution Amid Deadly Violence"

Haitian gang leader Cherizier rejects foreign-led political transition plans and calls for a revolution to overthrow the existing system, as armed groups control most of the capital following the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry. The United States and Caribbean nations have been pushing for a transitional council to appoint a new interim prime minister and lay a road map for elections, but Cherizier seeks to challenge the traditional politicians and rejects international intervention, including the proposed multinational police force. The ongoing chaos and violence in Haiti have led to widespread looting, pitched street battles, and displacement of thousands of Haitians, with the poorest people bearing the brunt of the suffering.
