Haiti Gang leader warns other countries against interfering in the country’s affairs as he promises to continue fighting.
Speaking to W Radio, a Spanish-language network, Cherizier—also known to as Barbecue—explained that Haiti’s residents, not outsiders, will bring about peace in the country.
The gang leader also questioned the purpose of the international assistance, pointing out that every nation tries to protect its interests in these situations.
“The solution to the problem of Haiti is in Haitians, no other country should intervene. Each country defends its interests…What we need is to change our living conditions,” he stated.
Kenya is set to lead the peacekeeping mission to Haiti by sending 1,000 security officers to the Caribbean nation. The deployment has, however, been put on hold temporarily following Prime Minister Ariel Henry’s resignation.
Recently, the United States gave Haitian gangs 24 hours to produce a representative to sit on the transitional council that will appoint the interim Prime Minister.
Cherizier further dismissed Ariel Henry’s move to resign as Prime Minister, noting that the fight for freedom is still on.
“We do not care about Ariel Henry’s resignation. We will continue the fight for Haiti’s liberation,” the gang leader noted.

Cherizier remarked that his keen interest remained for the Haitian economy to improve. He insisted that he was not seeking to assume any political position.
He pointed out that the main issue facing Haitians is the politicians and not armed gangs.
“The real problem is not the armed gangs. Certainly, they have the responsibility, but the first problem is the politicians. There is a battle to liberate this country. I am sorry for the deaths because lives matter but there is a battle and collateral damage,” he stated.
While explaining about his relationship with slain president Jovenel Moise, Cherizier noted that the citizens had hope in his leadership.
“I did not have a good relationship with President Moise but what I know is that he was the son of a poor family and wanted change for Haiti. If they don’t change, these people, they will kill them,” Barbecue pointed out.
