Gang leader Barbecue escapes ambush by Kenya police in HaitiAn ambush by Kenyan police officers in Haiti forced a gang leader to flee on Sunday night. Barbecue, a dreaded gang leader who once served as a police officer, leads a gang known as Viv Ansanm — which translates to “Living Together, Fighting United”. In the first ambush, officers retreated — but had studied the terrain and vast area occupied by the gang with the aim of coming back. On Monday, Mr Godfrey Otunge, who is the commander of the MSS mission in Haiti, confirmed the Sunday ambush, adding that their goal is to ensure normalcy is restored in the gang-infested nation. Former Prime Minister Garry Conille, who had been in charge of the country since the MSS mission kicked off in June, is no longer in office.
