“As long as the president is in our pockets, everything is okay.”David Mosby, head of the State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, met with Haitian police officials this month to discuss the wave of gang violence.Sison called on “all of Haiti’s actors” to engage in dialogue.“Rather than pointing fingers,” she told The Post, “our point is to encourage all actors .

Courts controlled by the authoritarian government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro have replaced the heads of opposition parties amid a fresh wave of arrests of journalists and social leaders.“Coronavirus is the perfect excuse for a power grab and authoritarian measures to crack down on political opponents,” said Michael Shifter, president of the Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington-based think tank. The gangs are the new Macoutes. Haiti was one of the last Caribbean nations to remain coronavirus-free and had suspended flights from Europe, Latin America and Canada and imposed major restrictions on the border with the neighboring Dominican Republic earlier this week in a bid to prevent the disease’s entry. But Leo and her partner have instead insisted on an autopsy and shared their grief on social media.

By January, the underpaid national police joined the protests, burning their own vehicles and blocking traffic on the capital’s main arteries.Moïse has postponed legislative elections indefinitely. “I am the president of all Haitians, the good and the bad.”There’s a standing warrant against Cherizier for allegedly possessing illegal arms and failing to report for duty — the reason police gave for firing him last year — but it has not been served. Justice Minister Lucmane Delile denounced the gangs and ordered the national police to pursue them; within hours, Moïse fired him.Moïse’s office initially agreed to an interview but then did not respond. She hailed a motorcycle taxi to go the hospital, but the child died in her arms.In Haiti, family members of gang victims often avoid reporting deaths, for fear of reprisal. Cherizier denies that his gangs have committed violence in the slums. PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Jovenel Moïse is president of Haiti, but ask the people of the terrified shantytowns who's in charge in this impoverished Caribbean capital, and they'll point to a man called Barbecue.A former police officer who portrays himself as the savior of the streets, Jimmy “Barbecue” Cherizier has come to symbolize the accelerating erosion of Haiti’s already challenged rule of law during the Cherizier announced the alliance on YouTube in June in a powder-blue three-piece suit. As a police officer, Cherizier, whose nickname stems from his mother’s locally famous grilled chicken, allegedly led a feared gang that for years was involved in murder, rape, extortion and kidnapping.While Haitians were locked down, he helped unify street gangs under the G9 Family and Allies umbrella. His newly formed “G9 Family and Allies” paraded triumphantly through the streets of the capital last month, led by gang leaders and dozens of armed men — both a flagrant violation of coronavirus rules and a warning to all.On a recent afternoon, Cherizier led a reporter through the run-down neighborhood of La Saline, stomping over festering piles of garbage, barging into one corrugated shack after another, bellowing, “You see the conditions they live in?” as residents cowered.“This is an armed revolution,” Cherizier told The Washington Post at his headquarters in Delmas 6, a no-go zone where he is hailed as a protector.
