Eared Haiti gang Barbecue noted that he is looking forward to fostering peace in the Caribbean nation that has, for years, been tattered by unnecessary unrest.
The deal, according to La Nouvelliste media outlet, was conducted under an hours long strict closed door meeting.
“Residents took to the streets to celebrate this peace. Today, after more than two years,” revealed one of the people who spoke to La Nouvelliste reporters.
The gang leadership used the opportunity to urge Haitian government to also consider truce by convening a meeting with them.
Barbecue runs the dreaded G9 Family and Allies gang that is now seeking peace agreement with the Prime Minister Garry Conille.
This happening even as Kenyan troops are still patrolling the streets of Haiti after the first two batch of police officers landed there from Kenya.
