PORT-AU-PRINCE – PORT-AU-Haitian police on Saturday fired rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse anti-government protesters who blocked roads and set fires in the capital, Port-au-Prince.
Several people were injured. It was the latest unrest during more than a year of protests calling for the resignation of President Jovenel Moïse over corruption charges.
Haiti is currently experiencing a political impasse without a parliament and is now run by decree under Moïse. The president marked Saturday by appealing for unity and laying a wreath on the 214th anniversary of the death of Haiti’s first independent ruler, Jean-Jacque Dessalines.
