Haiti's most feared gang leader, known as 'Barbecue', has threatened to overthrow the country's prime minister amid a surge in gang violence that has thrown the Caribbean nation into turmoil.

A state of emergency was declared after thousands of "dangerous" prisoners broke out of Haiti's two biggest jails over the weekend. Gangs carried out a series of coordinated attacks, resulting in at least a dozen deaths.

These heavily armed groups are led by Haiti's most powerful gang boss, Jimmy Cherizier.

Cherizier, also known as "Barbecue", is a former officer in the Haitian National Police (HNP). He used to work for the Unit for the Maintenance of Order, who are called upon during times of unrest or protests.
