Protesters clash with police following rain in Haiti

Protesters clash with police following rain in Haiti

by Kevin Pina

Port au Prince, Haiti - HIP — About one inch of rain fell on the capital of Port au Prince early this morning sparking angry protests that tied up traffic near the airport for nearly four hours.

At 4:30 am as the rain began to fall a collective wail could be heard rising from the makeshift camps of those left homeless due to a massive earthquake that rocked Haiti on January 12. Cries of helplessness and misery quickly turned into shouts of anger and invectives against Haitian president Rene Preval as thousands then took to the streets in several spontaneous street demonstrations.

Thanks for this Kevin, keep up the great work for our people. Lavalas loves and respects you for this.

@jackarf1 In all honesty, I don't do this for the love and respect of Lavalas as much as out of a sense of fairness and responsibility to cover an important voice in Haiti that is being ignored in the mainstream press. Just because they won't listen doesn't mean it doesn't exist and I constantly strive try to provide balance with evidence to the contrary.

@longmemoryprod You speak with Rene Civil lately? If you are indeed Kevin, I know you guys talk quite frequently.

The guy with the flag draped around him was clearly holding back tears. This is very sad.

Preval should be hanged by his cancer-ridden balls, and those CIA useful idiots should be necklaced.

I truly respect and support peace, but if they're making it inevitable, then it's time to koupe tet, boule kay.

Why are Haitians allowing themselves to be humiliated in their own damn country that was fought for 206 years ago?
