PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Barricades are burning in the streets of Haiti’s capital as the country enters its fourth week of protests that have paralyzed the economy.
Opposition leaders are asking supporters to gather Monday in front of the National Palace to demand the resignation of President Jovenel Moïse, who had been scheduled to attend an official ceremony nearby. The call comes after thousands of Haitians marched in front of the United Nations’ headquarters on Friday in one of the largest demonstrations in weeks.
The U.N.’s Mission for Justice Support in Haiti issued a statement late Sunday saying it was deeply concerned about the impact of what it called the protracted political crisis and said it is ready to support peaceful solutions devised by Haitians.
