Gang
Leader Threatens 'Civil War' If PM Does Not Resign.
Gang leader behind the violence blighting the Haitian
capital has warned there will be a "civil war" if Haiti's Prime
Minister, Ariel Henry, does not step down.
Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier made the threat as
members of his gang tried to seize the capital's airport to stop Henry from
returning from abroad.
Unrest has spread to other cities with a prison riot
reported in Jacmel.
Thousands have been displaced by the violence.
The G9 alliance has unleashed a wave of violence,
including attacks on police stations and the storming of the country's two main
prisons. Thousands of inmates escaped in a mass jailbreak on Saturday.
Haiti has been blighted by gang violence for years. But
while Prime Minister Henry was on a visit to Kenya last week, Barbecue
escalated the violence.
