Haiti Cannibals Hoax / 2024 Haitian Gang Takeover

Haiti Cannibals Hoax , part of the 2024 Haitian Gang Takeover , is a viral topic and video that spread online showing the aftermath of a gang takeover of the capital of Haiti, Port-Au-Prince. An older video showing people roasting and eating what appeared to be a human leg was shared online in the aftermath of the violence to imply that cannibalism was taking place in Haiti. Video footage of gang violence, footage supposedly showing cannibalism, and a speech given by gang leader Jimmy "Barbecue" Cherizier led to memes about Haiti, immigration, and gang violence online in March 2024.
