Jimmy Barbecue” Cherizier, the leader of the G9 Family and Allies gang alliance, warned that his troops would not stand by and watch the foreign mission led by Kenya's Deputy Inspector General Noor Gabow, allegedly terrorise its citizens. Deputy Inspector General Noor Gabow did not respond to media inquiries from America's ABC News which sought his comments on the threats issued by Barbecue. The United Nations (UN), which approved Kenya's role in leading the foreign mission, released a statement after the gang leader's threats denouncing the extreme brutality the gang had unleashed on the citizens. Other security forces estimated that the gangs now control 80 per cent of the nation, including the capital city of Port-au-Prince. The UN estimates that 2,439 people have been killed since January 2023, when the gang intensified its activities.
