Thousands march in Haiti amid political discontent

Thousands of anti-government protesters marched Saturday through Haiti's capital for the second time in two days amid anger over delayed elections and other issues.

 

The crowd began marching peacefully toward the Canadian embassy in Port-au-Prince but protesters later began burning tires, throwing rocks at police and tried to force their way through barricades as officers fired tear gas. Many protesters carried posters demanding that President Michel Martelly and Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe step down.
