President Donald Trump's administration has urged Haitians and members of the Kenya-led Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) to be cautious and ignore Jimmy Cherizier, alias Barbecue's, call for peace.
In a statement on Monday, September 8, the US Embassy in Haiti revealed that the gang leader was making videos and sharing them under the guise of wanting peace, while in reality, fuelling violence.
While cautioning against falling for such antics, the US government called on the public to help arrest more gang leaders who are currently within and outside the Caribbean nation.
According to the US, the era of the gangs' impunity was over and that Trump's administration would take decisive action against any individual found instigating violence in Haiti.
