Haiti enters 7th week of deadly protests

Anti-government protests have entered their seventh week, as thousands of people again took to the streets of Port-au-Prince Monday to demand the ouster of President Jovenel Moïse.

At least 20 people have been killed amid the ongoing protests, which have also shuttered schools for two million children across Haiti.

Since coming to power in February 2017, Jovenel Moise has had to face the anger of an opposition movement that refuses to recognise his victory in an election widely seen as dubious.

Anger mounted in late August due to a national fuel shortage, and protests turned violent.
