Protests have shut down major cities in Haiti as demonstrators clashed with police and demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry. The protests, which have been ongoing for several days, were sparked by the failure of the government to tackle crime and gang violence. Riot police fired tear gas in the capital, Port-au-Prince, as hundreds of Haitians took to the streets to protest the unelected government of Prime Minister Ariel Henry. The situation escalated as a former rebel leader made a surprise appearance in the capital amid the large protests. Prime Minister Ariel Henry has urged calm in a public address following three days of violent protests that have paralyzed the country and demand his resignation.
