(Reuters) - Haitian leaders pleaded for calm on Saturday as violent protests over fuel price increases entered a second day and U.S. airlines canceled flights to the Caribbean nation.

Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant announced the temporary suspension of double-digit government hikes to prices for gasoline, diesel and kerosene on Saturday afternoon - just a day after they were announced.

The now-suspended decision by Moïse’s government to raise prices was part of an agreement with the International Monetary Fund, which requires the country to enact a range of austerity measures.

The US Marine Corp was unique in providing Haiti with the only rational government they ever had in their history...When the Marines left, Haiti quickly returned to being a dedicated sh*thole...Perhaps it is only possible to have good government in a sh*thole country at the point of American bayonets....Argentina should take note................. :biggrin:

Violent Haitian protests triggered by IMF austerity measures
Quote:
 
A general strike paralyzed the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince Monday. following three days of violent demonstrations, looting and clashes with security forces triggered by drastic hikes in fuel prices. Taxi and mini-bus drivers shut down operations and businesses and stores closed down, while scattered protests and barricades continued, with demonstrators calling for the ouster of the government of President Jovenel Moïse.

Anger at a fuel price hike has turned into violent demands that President Jovenel Moise step down.

At least four people have been killed in three days of protests against a steep hike in fuel prices imposed by the Haitian government on Friday. Protesters set alight cars and blocked roads in the capital, Port-au-Prince, and other towns.

Oh course, we have a neo Nazi president but so many people from south of our border, brown people, your people, want to come to this racist country run by a neo Nazi.

Hey, we are still number one.
