TL;DR Summary

Jimmy "Barbecue" Cherizier, the leader of a powerful coalition of gangs in Haiti, has called for the armed overthrow of Prime Minister Ariel Henry, urging Haitians to take to the streets against the unelected government. Cherizier led a march through the capital, blocking roads and declaring their fight against Henry's government with weapons. Haitian gangs have grown in strength since the assassination of President Jovenel Moise, creating a power vacuum. Prime Minister Henry has pledged to hold elections once security is re-established and has called for international help in fighting the gangs. The threat from Cherizier comes as Kenya considers leading a multinational United Nations-backed force to assist Haiti's under-gunned police in combating the gangs.
