Description

Haiti’s acting prime minster has resigned, bending to pressure from the US. The move leaves a power vacuum into which has apparently stepped Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Cherizier.

And how did gang leader ‘Barbecue’ get his nickname? This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
