"Haiti Gang Leader Barbecue Calls for Peace Talks While Warning Against Foreign Intervention"
Jimmy 'Barbecue' Chérizier, the notorious gang leader in Haiti, expressed willingness to participate in peace talks if his gang consortium is included, but warned of armed resistance against foreign peacekeepers. He leads the G9 collective of gangs and the Viv Ansanm alliance, controlling up to 80% of Port-au-Prince. Despite international efforts to form a transitional government, the gangs still rule the streets. Chérizier blames corrupt politicians for Haiti's plight and advocates for dialogue over violence, while dismissing the involvement of foreign forces.
