Amid Haiti's political upheaval, former police officer Jimmy Chérizier, known as Barbecue, gains prominence leading the G9 gang alliance. He demands Prime Minister Ariel Henry's resignation, accused of fueling violence and orchestrating blockades causing dire shortages. Barbecue claims to unite rival gangs but experts doubt its longevity. Threatening civil war if Henry returns, he opposes foreign intervention. Controlling vital ports, Barbecue's power wanes with potential international police deployment. Experts caution his visibility doesn't reflect Haiti's true power dynamics. Amidst chaos, Barbecue remains a pivotal figure, shaping Haiti's fragile future.
