AFP, PORT-AU-PRINCEAngry protests on Friday rumbled through Haiti and its capital, Port-au-Prince, as thousands of people took to the streets against Haitian President Jovenel Moise, drawing tear gas from police as demonstrators looted and threw stones. In the early hours of the day, groups of young people prevented traffic from circulating on some of Port-au-Prince’s main arteries. Violent clashes later broke out as protestors threw stones in response to tear gas. The day’s demonstrations were part of a larger wave of protests that have rocked Haiti throughout the week as the country’s inhabitants voiced anger over Moise, who is implicated in several corruption scandals. The police had taken all of their weapons so that protestors could not abscond with them, he said.
