Protests Continue in Haiti Against the Government of Jovenel Moïse
Tens of thousands of people in Haiti took to the streets again on Sunday to protest President Jovenel Moïse, exceeding all expectations. Demonstrators in Port-au-Prince, the capital, accused the head of state of trying to establish a new "dictatorship," and criticized U.S. support for his government.
Protests since then have been taking place daily in Port-au-Prince, although with a much smaller number of demonstrators,. Although the demonstrations were peaceful, police used tear gas and rubber bullets against protesters. "Despite all the kidnappings and massacres in the poor neighborhoods, the United States continues to support him," protester Sheila Pelicier told the AFP news agency. According to the Spanish news agency Efe, at least one person was shot and killed in the capital and others were wounded.
