Haitian Protesters Reject Foreign Troops and Demand Resignation of PM Ariel Henry

HeadlineOct 18, 2022

The United States and Canada shipped military equipment to Haiti over the weekend after the government of U.S.-backed Prime Minister Ariel Henry called for international involvement to combat gang activity. People have taken to the streets in response, protesting foreign military aid and occupation, and demanding the resignation of Henry. This is a protester in Port-au-Prince.

Protester: “No to the Canadians. No to the Americans. You are monsters. You don’t have solutions. You are chaos. You are behind the gangsterization of crime. You are giving arms to our brothers.”
