Haiti: “Barbecue” gang leader threatens “bloody” civil war. The gangs, which control entire swaths of Haiti, announced last week that they were ganging up against the government.
The capital has been under a state of emergency and curfew since Sunday after these armed gangs released thousands of detainees. A 46-year-old former police officer who became an influential Haitian gang leader calling himself ‘Bar barbecue’ threatened the country on Tuesday with a bloody “civil war” if disputed Prime Minister Ariel Henry remained in power.
