Lots of unrest going on now in Haiti that the MSM isn't covering.  No worries, you can count on RN to bring it to you.

Thousands protest against corruption and demand the president’s ouster in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Nov. 18, 2018.

Quote:A national holiday meant to honor the 215th anniversary of the battle of Vertieres, a major victory for Haiti’s slaves in the war for independence against the French army, was marked by anti-corruption protests and calls for the president’s ouster Sunday.

Thousands took to the streets in the capital, Port-au-Prince and marched all around town shouting slogans, burning tires and in some instances flying black and red flags - in defiance of the country’s official red and blue banner. The black and red flag was replaced in 1986 when Haiti’s first democratically-elected president, Jean Bertrand Aristide, took power.

“We’re asking for the departure of the president because he is incapable of governing so he has to go,” another protester marching downtown told VOA Creole.

“We want justice!” another chimed in. Those words are the principal theme of the PetroCaribe protest movement. Protesters are demanding transparency from the government regarding the alleged misuse of $3.8 billion. The money, due to Haiti under the PetroCaribe oil alliances signed between Venezuela and Caribbean nations starting in June 2005, had been earmarked for infrastructure and social and economic projects.

According to reports, two people died during the protest in the capital and several others were injured after gunmen in unmarked cars fired into the crowd. Several protesters alleged in interviews with VOA Creole that policemen had been behind the wheel. But Michel Ange Gedeon, general director of Haiti’s national police force (PNH) denied that. He said police had done their utmost to control their use of force against protesters and had investigated the circumstances of the two confirmed deaths finding police were not involved.

Protests were smaller in other major cities such as Jacmel, Gonaives, St. Marc, Jeremie and Cape Haitien, but the anger expressed was similar.

Today there was this post on Twitter about the violence that took place during the protests.

Last night was hell for residents of La Saline, #[b]Haiti[/b] as govt tried to forestall today's protests. More than 30 houses burned & 9 more dead, 40 wounded by bullets all perpetrated by #PHTK gangs. Human rights organizations are either bought off or asleep at the wheel.

Sounds like things are really heating up down there.

I would suggest you also watch this video by Citizen Investigative Report where she goes deep into the topic.

We need to keep the innocent people in Haiti in our thoughts and prayers.  Good must win over evil.
