Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has urged calm as protesters demand his resignation.
Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has urged calm following three days of violent protests that have paralysed the country as thousands of protesters demand his resignation.
The brief speech in the pre-dawn hours on Thursday did little to appease people who are angry and frustrated over unrelenting gang violence, deepening poverty, and the lack of any plan in sight for general elections.
Mr. Henry's comments were made as thousands of Haitians gathered daily this week in cities and towns across the country to demand that he step down, saying they will keep protesting until he leaves.
Mr. Henry also urged Haitians not to view the government or Haiti's national police as their adversaries.
He said those who choose violence, destruction and killing people to take power are "not working in the interests of the Haitian people".
