UN Security Council looks into Haiti, where gang leader threatens 'civil war' Armed groups in Haiti say they want to overthrow the Prime Minister in power since the assassination in 2021 of President Jovenel Moïse. “If Ariel Henry does not resign (...) we are heading straight towards a civil war which will lead to genocide,” threatened the influential Haitian gang leader Jimmy Chérizier on Tuesday.

The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on Wednesday on the new escalation of violence in Haiti.
