Anti-government protest in Haiti has turned violent

It was a battle between bullets and stones in the country's capital of Port-au-Prince on Thursday November 7, 2013. The situation then was much like the recent incident in Petit Goave where political unrest led to a clash between protesters and the security forces.

Back in 2013, a peaceful procession of about 3,000 began marching in the morning through the towns of the capital. They were demanding that the country's leader, President Michel Martelly, resign his post, but were reportedly met with people who hurled stones at them from alleys and rooftops. This initial chaos led to a greater one still, as police intervened with the use of tear gas, but were met by the protesters throwing stones back at them. The entire melee ended only after the group of protesters fled to nearby Petion-ville.

On October 17, a team of protesters comprising of opposition political parties like Patriotic Movement of the Democratic Opposition, Patriotic Force for the Respect of the Constitution, the Organization Tèt ansanm and other organizations close to Fanmi Lavalas demonstrated agitation in demand for better living conditions and departure of the team in power. However, due to the Government's strategy the demonstration was less mobilizing than its earlier protest of September 30. Because, many citizens attended, a government organized music program on "The life of Emperor Jean-Jacques Dessalines". The demonstrators repeatedly attempted to enter Petionville, ignoring police obstructions. At the first stage, the police tried to pacify them by peacefully pushing at the level of Delmas 30. However, at the end, to disperse the angry protesters they had to use tear gas and water cannons. Over a ten demonstrators were arrested; Senator Moïse, the leader of the demonstrators strongly overpowered by tear gas took refuge in a club in Delmas 33. However, following the event he called on citizens to remain mobilized and has given rendezvous on October 26.

Here is a picture of the two members of the opposition who were arrested today, October 26, 2014, during an anti-Government protest. Coordinator Biron Odige and spokesman for FOPARK(Mobilizasyon manch long pou voye Mateli ale) and Rony Timothee were both arrested.

The two were arrested at the opposition rally in Bel Air, at the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in the morning and taken to the police station in Petion-ville. The National Police has not provided any information concerning the arrest.

The protest did go on as scheduled, however. Several thousand protesters marched through the capital demanding the chance to vote in legislative and local elections. They started their rally in Bel Air slum, burning piles of wood and holding up their voting cards to show they were ready to cast ballots.

They traveled the streets of the Capital chanting several anti-Martelly slogans. the crowd got bigger as they reached St Martin, Delmas and Petion-ville to end at the Champ de Mars.

Kreyol Pale, Kreyol Kompran.

The ire of the protestors who attended the Carnival des Fleurs was piqued by the decision of the President, Michel Martelly, to host the festival this year. Their grouse is with the estimated $2.2 million it took to fund the carnival, which many view as a non-productive, unnecessary waste of money that could have been used in any one of the other hundreds of needy sectors of the economy. While openly in opposition to the revelry going on at the Carnival, the protestors, paradoxically, added to the number of patrons at the festival.

This is something that many supporters of the Martelly regime would want you to believe. They thing that all these recent demonstrations in the streets or positions taken by some prominent leaders have something to do with the Lavalas regime.

Some as a matter of fact even accused the Lavalas leader of paying some Senators or Deputies for manifesting publicly against the current government

Now do you think that Jean Bertrand Aristide has anything to do with the public protests that have been growing recently?
