Haitian gang leader wants to "drain the swamp."
Haitian gang leader Jimmy "Barbecue" Cherizier, head of the Viv Ansanm alliance, was interviewed, drawing parallels to Donald Trump and expressing a desire to "drain the swamp." The interview took place in Port-au-Prince, where gangs control most of the city, displacing over a million people and causing widespread suffering. The United States designated Viv Ansanm as a terrorist organization on May 2nd. The article highlights the dire conditions in Haiti, including violence, displacement, and food insecurity, while also mentioning the presence of a UN-backed security mission and Cherizier's defiance of it.
