Haitians are calling for a massive protest Friday after weeks of anti-government gatherings have brought thousands to the streets of the capital to demand President Jovenel Moise step down
Photos of the protests, which have been happening intermittently since February, have shown people burning car tires and clashing with police in Port-au-Prince. Last Monday, a Haitian senator appeared to open fire amid chaotic scenes outside the Parliament building, where a journalist was injured with an apparent gunshot wound.
The news has aggravated food shortages in grocery stores and more ATM machines have gone out of service as Haitians try to stock up on supplies before potential chaos ensues.In the meantime, the opposition has formed a committee to"set up a transitional government," said Youri Latortue, an opposition senator, at a news conference earlier this week.
