YourFellowArab releases trailer for video chronicling his reported kidnapping in Haiti

Addison "YourFellowArab" has released a three-minute-long trailer for his upcoming video chronicling the 17 days he spent in Haiti while reportedly being kidnapped by the 400 Mawozo gang in the country. The YouTuber has been making headlines since he entered the country with the supposed intention of interviewing one of the gang's leaders.

For those who are unaware, Haiti is currently in turmoil with rival gangs openly threatening civil war. The country's Prime Minister recently stepped down, and its borders are supposedly closed.

YourFellowArab claimed he crossed the nation's borders with the help of "corrupt border officials" but was promptly kidnapped by Lanmo Sanjou, leader of the 400 Mawozo gang.
