Just hours before Kenyan police officers are scheduled to land in Port-au-Prince in Haiti, notorious gang leader Jimmy Cherizier, popularly known as Barbecue, has penned a letter to the Haitian government seeking for dialogue. Barbeque, who had in the past dared Kenyan police officers, remarked that he was seeking to explore peace initiatives being advanced by Prime Minister Garry Conille. "If the Kenyan military or police come, whatsoever, I will consider them, aggressors,” the gang leader had vowed on March 2024. This would give the people of Haiti freedom to resume normal life as well as bring peace to the war-torn country. The mission is sanctioned by the United Nations and funded by the United States and Canada.
