Haiti Gang Leader Makes Dark Threat Against New Interim Government

This is the new normal in Haiti. As politicians gather at the country’s National Palace for the swearing in of a new transitional council, sporadic gunfire is heard nearby. There are a few nervous faces, but no-one seems especially concerned.
The ceremony was being held to mark a new beginning for the country after the resignation of unpopular Prime Minister Ariel Henry on Thursday, but much of the event had to be held behind closed doors, because the security situation in the capital is so unpredictable.
Gangs still control around 80% of Port-au-prince, and have previously launched attacks on the National Palace, police stations and the country’s main airport.
One of the key aims of the gangs, led by Jimmy "Barbeque" Cherizier, was to topple Ariel Henry’s government. But Henry’s departure seems unlikely to end the violence, with Cherizier warning the new council members to ‘brace’ themselves earlier in the week. They want to be a part of any new government.
Led by Henry’s former finance minister, Michel Patrick Boisvert, the new council will seek to bring order back to the embattled Caribbean nation - but it’s a huge task.
Half of the population is struggling to feed itself, according to the world food programme, there is a spiralling economic crisis, and the security services here are desperately short of manpower and equipment. The US has said its helping the Haitian police to regain control.
The council has a mandate until early 2026, by which time a new, democratically elected president will need to be installed.
But it seems certain that the gangs will try to derail that process, and at the moment, no one knows how to stop them.
According to the United Nations, more than 1,500 people were killed and 800 injured in the first three months of 2024.

[@judeisrael21]

No they don't. They the one terrorizing the population it's not the arms group. Stop letting the media giving false narrative so they America France and Canada with all these worthless all corrupt gang government had stolen the freedom of the Haitian people. The u.s is 200 percent behind thing in haitit with the politicians are all thief and criminals some is sanction by the u.s and Canada for providing guns to who they calling gang that turn the weapon on them because they destroyed the country and tried to put the blames on those arms group because they decide they was not gonna do their dirty jobs again so now they making bbbq look like he behind this when he is actually the one defending and want to expose them. but the u.s still allow them to sit in this councils to partake knowing everyone in this council including the chief police and claud Joseph who are u.s Cia agents who murder the president in 2021 they. Now scare that guy Phillipe. Which is who the people ask to lead them. They afraid of him not to expose and get them luck up so they all teamed up to keep him out of this council while the population ask for him to lead them. It's 100% corruption going in and the u.s is supporting it. Since they after the uranium that haiti have with the oil

[@ShantalhaitianPrincess]

The gangs cannot be welcomed. They have dug a deep whole for themselves. They show on television they are killing nand burning people. No government will openly welcom them.lest they change their image and tactics. So to answer your question,hell no.

[@ralphlamy6842]

They will just push them out, similar to what happened under Aristide.

[@ShantalhaitianPrincess]

the gangs are run by America the gangs will stop once the new puppet is put in place

You want the criminals causing the insecurity to have a say?

[@judeisrael21]

Did you ask yourself how they got the weapons and what have they been protecting? You are looking at the real criminals on the screen in this council right now. They created the insecurities to stay and power and protect their business while keeping the population dead poor. Now it backfire on them. You don't fine it strange how the arms group is so angry at them? Because they the one who was funding them. Then those bastard now trying to get army to come fight what they created to come kill those people who never had A job so pool can't even get food and you think they would be buying 10k weapons?

[@PanamanianMan317]

@@ralphlamy6842 Clearly you haven't done research about history of Haiti.

[@ralphlamy6842]

@@PanamanianMan317 lol I am Haitian, you don’t need to tell me my history. Politicians and elites like Papa Doc and Aristide have always funded these gangs to fight their rivals. What has happened now is that these politicians and Elites have lost control of them and now these gangs have made it impossible for ordinary people to live. In addition most of these gang members are pretty much teenagers and people in their early 20s who show off what they have stolen on social media. These are not freedom fighters with some moral standards. You may have some gang leaders like Barbecue who says he is fighting for the people, which I doubt is true, but the vast majority of these gangs are kids who are up to no good. I highly recommend you google some of the pictures of these gang leaders and ask yourself if you want them running your country.
