PORT-AU-PRINCE - A MAN was shot dead and several others injured on Wednesday in fresh rioting in northern Haiti, as protesters clashed with UN peacekeepers blamed for the cholera outbreak, a police source said.
Aid workers complained that protests were again holding up relief operations in the troubled second city of Cap Haitien, while a top UN official said the demonstrations were being ’orchestrated’.
Two local Haitians were killed in riots in Cap Haitien on Monday, one shot by a UN peacekeeper as protesters set a police station and vehicles ablaze and threatened to torch a UN compound.
