Yeah, Barbecue got the support of some of the elite. Before he was known to be associate with the PHTK party, but now its more complicated, since the death of Moise.
But the haitian oligarchs are really involved in this crisis. Families like the Bigio family, the Brandt family, the Boulos family and the others. Really rich families that are stronger than the politicians.

A guy that we most keep an eye on, is Guy Philippe. He just finished is sentence of 9 years in the US for drug trafficking and money laundering.
He’s a ex officier and para-military. He was the leader of the revolt against the president Jean-Bertrand Aristide. And before going to jail, he really had an army of guys ready to shoot against the americains army.
Now he came back, and he a major player again.
