About

YourFellowArab Haiti Kidnapping refers to YouTuber and streamer Addison Pierre Maalouf's (YourFellowArab) March 2024 kidnapping by the Haitian gang 400 Mawozo, led by Lanmò 100 jou, during the Haitian gang takeover. The social media personality is reportedly being held for a ransom of $600,000, with Haitian news outlets reporting that $40,000 of the sum has already been paid. The news was confirmed by Maalouf's associate Lalem on X / Twitter in late March, with internet users criticizing Maaloud for traveling to Haiti during a tumultuous time, and others like English explorer and YouTuber Lord Miles expressing their well wishes for his safe return.

On March 10th, 2024, travel YouTuber and streamer made a post on X[1] about how he is "Going on another one of those trips 🤫," adding, "If I die, thanks for watching what I’ve put out. If I live, all glory to God." Many in his replies speculated that he might be going to either Gaza or Haiti. The vlogger stopped tweeting on March 12th, with disparate news of his kidnapping spreading on X on March 27th.[4]

On March 28th, a Haitian news website reported[2] that Maalouf was kidnapped by a Haitian gang on March 14th on his way back from Cap-Haïtien. Maalouf was reportedly in Haiti to interview gang member Jimmy Chérizier, also known as "Barbecue," a figure often implicated in the Haiti cannibalism hoax. Maalouf was reportedly kidnapped by Lanmò 100 jou of the 400 Mawozo gang, who originally asked for $600,000 in ransom, but have since dropped down to a five-figure number.

Also on March 28th, 2024, Maalouf's friend made a post on X[3] confirming the news of his kidnapping and promising that they are "working on getting him out." The post gathered over 11,000 likes in a day (seen below).
