PORT-AU-PRINCE – Haitian opposition leaders led a large and peaceful march in the capital as they called for the resignation of President Jovenel Moise, whom they blame for a deep economic and political crisis in the troubled Caribbean country.
Earlier on Friday, clashes had broken out as police prevent protesters from marching on the headquarters of the United Nations peacekeeping and justice force near the Port-au-Prince airport.
Many opposition leaders and Haitians called for Moise’s ouster, blaming him for failing to address problems on widespread food and fuel shortages, a weakening currency, double-digit inflation and graft accusations made against public officials.
Police said at least five people were killed in clashes in the past few weeks.(Reuters)
