AP – An ex-police officer considered by many to be Haiti\u2019s most powerful gang leader warned Wednesday that he would fight any international armed force deployed to the Caribbean country if it committed any abuses.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Jimmy Ch\u00e9rizier, best known as \u2018Barbecue\u2019, also urged Haitians to mobilise against the government.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWe are asking the population to rise up,\u201d he said at a news conference.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who has led Haiti since the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Mo\u00efse, has been pushing for the deployment of a foreign armed force since October to help fight powerful gangs that are estimated to now control 80 per cent of the capital of Port-au-Prince.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In late July, the African nation of Kenya offered to lead a multinational force, and the US said earlier this month that it would put forward a resolution in the UN Security Council to authorise a non-UN multinational mission.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Ch\u00e9rizier said he would welcome a foreign force if it were to arrest the prime minister and people he described as corrupt politicians and local police allegedly selling ammunitions and guns in Haiti\u2019s slums.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the foreign force comes to help and provide security for life to start over again, we will also applaud,\u201d he said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

But he said Haitians would rise up if any international force repeated the actions of previous UN peacekeepers, including committing sexual abuses and inadvertently introducing cholera into water sources.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will fight against them until our last breath,\u201d he said. \u201cIt will be a fight of the Haitian people to save the dignity of our country.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The United Nations had no comment, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Ch\u00e9rizier, who has been accused by authorities of masterminding several massacres in recent years and of organising a fuel blockade last year that paralysed Haiti for nearly two months, said the group he leads, G9 Family and Allies, is no longer warring with another group known as G-Pep.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe became one,\u201d he said. \u201cWe love life a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e9rizier is the only Haitian under UN sanctions, with the Security Council saying he \u201chas engaged in acts that threaten the peace, security, and stability of Haiti and has planned, directed, or committed acts that constitute serious human rights abuses\u201d.<\/p>\n

He called on the Ministry of Education to reopen schools in Cite Soleil and other slums that have been closed because warring gangs are raping and killing people.<\/p>\n

The violence has displaced nearly 200,000 Haitians whose homes have been torched by the gangs.<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e9rizier spoke to nearly two dozen journalists at an outdoors construction site in Port-au-Prince. He wore sandals, white pants and an orange hoodie emblazoned with a religious symbol used in Vodou.<\/p>\n

He was surrounded by several G9 members carrying small handguns visible under their clothes, unlike his previous media appearances at which they openly held assault rifles.<\/p>\n
