About our Jimmy Chérizier (Barbecue) news
Latest news on Jimmy Chérizier (Barbecue): breaking updates on the powerful Haitian gang leader, his alleged atrocities, sanctions, and his impact on Haiti's political crisis.
Jimmy Chérizier, nicknamed "Barbecue", is a former police officer who now leads the notorious G9 gang alliance controlling large areas of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital. His criminal empire's reach extends across the city through brazen acts of kidnapping, killing, and blockading fuel terminals.
As the leader of the G9 Revolutionary Forces, Barbecue has been engaged in a bloody turf war with Haiti's other major gang federation, G-Pep, over control of key territory and economic assets like the main fuel terminal. The eruption of violence has brought the Caribbean nation to a standstill, worsening an already dire humanitarian crisis.
With the police outmatched, Barbecue and the G9 have filled the power vacuum, imposing their own rules in neighbourhoods under their control. His forces are well-armed and financed through kidnapping for ransom. Barbecue represents one of the biggest threats to Haiti's feeble government trying to restore order after the 2021 presidential assassination.
