HAITI HELL: Police Strikes at Gang Rebels After Leader ‘Barbecue’ Calls for a Revolution Against Political Elites
The violence in Haiti continues to rage, as the country now seems divided between the political players jockeying for unelected political power in the ‘transition council’ that was proposed by the CARICOM Caribbean regional leaders and the gang rebels that control as much as 80% of the capital Port-au-Prince.
A lot of the action seems to concentrate around former police officer and gang rebel leader Jimmy Chérizier, a.k.a. Barbecue.
After Chérizier called for a revolution against the Haitian elite and threatened politicians that participated in the ‘transition council’, the Haitian police reorganized itself and attacked the gang with a big operation on his controlled territory.
‘Barbecue’ rejected foreign solutions ‘for an electoral road map and a path to peace’.
