The Head of the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti, Godfrey Otunge, has assured Haiti citizens of continued police efforts to eliminate gang violence in the Caribbean nation. The update comes amid an operation against the dreaded Haiti gang leader Jimmy Cherizier alias Barbecue. While the Viv Ansanm gang leader narrowly escaped a police bullet, however, the officers were able to kill two gang members. The latest developments in Haiti come barely a month after the multinational peacekeepers, jointly with the Haitian officers killed about 20 gang members, including a gang leader. During the operation, the officers destroyed Vitelhomme's base before neutralising several gang members, including Vitelhomme's second-in-command, Deshommes.
