Jimmy Chérizier 'Barbecue' launches counter-offensive by 'Viv Ansanm' gang coalition against Haitian police
Gang leader Jimmy Chérizier, nicknamed 'Barbecue', has declared the launch of a counter-offensive led by the 'Viv Ansanm' gang coalition. This announcement comes as Haiti's National Police mobilises all of its forces to face this offensive.
The 'Viv Ansanm' coalition brings together several armed groups operating on Haitian territory. Chérizier, an emblematic figure of gang violence in the country, has called for this collective action against institutions responsible for maintaining order.
Haitian police authorities have responded by deploying all available units to counter this threat and protect the civilian population. The situation remains extremely tense in several neighbourhoods of the capital and surrounding regions.
This new episode of confrontation illustrates the gravity of the security crisis Haiti is experiencing, where gangs control vast areas and openly defy state authority. The civilian population continues to pay the heaviest toll from these armed confrontations.
