Revolutionary Forces of the G9 Family and Allies

The Revolutionary Forces of the G9 Family and Allies (Haitian Creole: Fòs Revolisyonè G9 an Fanmi e Alye) is a federation of 12 gangs led by former Haitian police officer Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier, notorious for extrajudicial massacres.

[2] In March 2024, the gang was involved in a jailbreak that led to more than 4,700 prisoners escaping, resulting in the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry.

In 2022, clashes between it and G-Pep led to "at least 50 dead and more than 50 wounded" in just 4 days in Port-au-Prince.

[5] On February 29 2024, the G9 family set aside its rivalry with the G-Pep gang and formed a coalition: Viv Ansanm.

[7] They have access to a variety of illegal weapons, mostly from the United States, giving them more firepower than the police.
