According to organizers, the protests that will last until Wednesday will criticize the fuel shortage, the high cost of living, and the insecurity that plagues the country.

For two weeks in a row, thousands of people mobilized in Haiti, which is experiencing a worsening of the multifaceted crisis with inflation above 29 percent, the highest in the last decade, in addition to fuel price, which quintupled its value in the informal market.

Human rights organizations registered at least 500 deaths between April and July, due to gang clashes, and hundreds of injured and missing.

In addition to the protests in Fond-des-Nègres, other demonstrations are planned in Port-au-Prince on Wednesday, organized by the leader of the Pitit Dessalines party, Moïse Jean Charles, who led similar protests in Cap-Haïtien, on the northern coast of the country.
