Haiti Gang Leader Jimmy "Barbecue" Cherizier Calls Kenyan Troops “Invaders,” Declares War

Haiti Gang Leader Jimmy "Barbecue" Cherizier Calls Kenyan Troops “Invaders,” Declares War - What happens when international peacekeepers meet fierce local resistance? This question looms over Haiti as notorious gang leader Jimmy Cherizier, also known as "Barbecue," declares war on Kenyan troops recently deployed to quell violence in the capital, Port-au-Prince.
Over the past week, a 400-strong elite police unit from Kenya has been patrolling the streets of Port-au-Prince. Their mission is to curb the rampant gang violence that has crippled the city. The deployment is part of an international peacekeeping effort aimed at restoring order and security.
Many Haitians have welcomed the Kenyan troops, seeing them as a beacon of hope amid the chaos. "We need peace...we beg that they've come here to work seriously in something important," a local resident expressed, reflecting the community's desperate desire for stability and safety.
In stark contrast, Jimmy Cherizier, a former police officer turned gang leader, has vehemently opposed the Kenyan deployment. Cherizier has called the peacekeepers "invaders" and vowed to fight them. "We are sons of Dessalines; we cannot accept any foreign troops who come to murder people in the country," he declared, invoking a deep sense of nationalism and resistance.
Cherizier and his gang members responded to the peacekeeping patrols with a dramatic show of force. Armed with assault rifles and donning masks, they marched through their strongholds, chanting war cries. Cherizier himself led the procession, delivering a fiery speech and preparing his men for what he described as an inevitable bloodbath.
Amidst the rising tensions, Haiti's President Gary Conille visited the United States, where he secured additional support for the Kenyan-led mission. Washington has pledged more funds to help stabilize the situation. However, Cherizier's defiance and the gangs' show of strength have underscored the complex and volatile nature of the crisis.
