United Nations Peacekeeper Soldiers Fire At Protesters In Haiti

Here is a video showing United Nations Peacekeeper Soldiers Firing on Haitians during a protest against the government of Michel Martelly

In the meantime, Michel Martelly is planning on replacing his prime Minister.

Opposition leaders had mixed feelings, Andre Michel saying Lamothe's resignation was "too little, too late". But opposition senator, Francisco Delacruz, saw it differently, commenting: "The departure . . . is a positive signal", believing "the crisis can be resolved in a week . . ." but it will take political will to achieve it.

Martelly is set to meet with upper and lower chamber presidents to select Lamothe's replacement. He has been blamed for the delay in holding elections, three-and-a-half years overdue. He says the blame lies with six opposition senators, who won't pass the electoral law they say is biased toward the government.
