Just two weeks ago in Haiti, thousands of demonstrators in Port-au-Prince and other major cities risked violence from gang members to demand change. They blocked roads, closed stores and marched in the streets, calling for Acting Prime Minster Ariel Henry to step down. They chanted, “If Ariel doesn’t leave, we’re going to die!”
Their words are not hyperbole. Many hundreds of Haitians have been killed by gang violence over the past year under Henry’s ineffective rule. When people protested Henry’s rule in recent weeks, police killed a dozen demonstrators.
