Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier, leader of the “G9 family” gang alliance, on Tuesday threatened Haiti with a “civil war” if Prime Minister Ariel Henry did not resign. “There is no question of a small group of rich people living in large hotels deciding the fate of residents of working-class neighborhoods,” he proclaimed Tuesday.

In 2022, at the head of the G9 alliance, he blocked the country's main oil terminal for months, paralyzing fuel distribution.
