Kempès Sanon, the 46-year-old leader of the Bel-Air armed gang, one of Haiti’s most notorious and violent groups, has vowed to continue the fight against the Haitian system until it is overthrown. In a recent interview with EFE, the world’s largest Spanish news agency, Sanon declared, “The battle will go to the end. Even if they launch drones at us, the battle will not stop.” The Bel-Air gang, part of the “Viv Ansanm” terrorist coalition led by former police officer Jimmy Chérizier (aka “Barbecue”), has been accused of numerous attacks on public institutions and civilians. The United States recently sanctioned Sanon and Chérizier, with a $5 million reward offered for the latter’s capture. Sanon accused the U.S., Canada, and France of undermining Haiti’s interests, claiming their actions have perpetuated the country’s insecurity and poverty. He argued that the gangs’ fight aims to bring about change and development, asserting that the Haitian state has failed its people. Sanon also criticized the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT), labeling its members as “thieves” who exploit insecurity for personal gain and prolonged power.
