TL;DR Summary

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.
