Monday, January 22 was marked by demonstrations and clashes in several towns across Haiti. In Jérémie, at least three people were shot dead near the sub-commissariat, as they tried to mobilize a crowd against the current government.
The attackers, armed individuals wearing balaclavas, were travelling in a car at the time of the attack. The presence of armed civilians seeking to dissuade the opponents of the government had been noted the previous day.
In Ouanaminthe, demonstrators once again took to the streets to demand the government’s resignation. Stones and bottles were thrown at banks and local businesses. Barricades of burning tires blocked Route Nationale 6.
In Miragoâne, activities came to a virtual standstill. Stone-throwing clashes took place and barricades were erected. In the town of Les Cayes, barricades of burning tires and wrecked cars closed off several streets and Route Nationale 7.
