Dozens of trucks lined up at a main fuel terminal in Haiti’s capital Tuesday to fill up their tanks for the first time since a powerful gang seized control of the area nearly two months ago.
The drivers were protected by a heavily armed police convoy formed two days after gang boss Jimmy Cherizier, a former police officer nicknamed “Barbecue,” announced that the G9 gang federation he leads was lifting a fuel blockade and allowing drivers to fill up at the depot.
