PORT-AU-PRINCE: Thousands of people demonstrated on Sunday in Port-au-Prince, demanding that Haiti’s President Jovenel Moise step down.
“Jovenel is incapable and incompetent, he must pack his bags because Haiti must live,” said one of the protesters, Jean Ronald.
“It is not normal to live in such an unequal country,” Ronald added, standing in front of the float of “Prophet Mackenson,” a popular and controversial Haitian religious leader.
Mackenson Dorilas, a self-proclaimed “prophet,” was sanctioned by the Haitian Ministry of faiths at the end of 2018 after saying he could cure AIDS with a bed bug remedy.
The crowd of his faithful moved through streets of the capital, followed by large groups of demonstrators, praying and chanting slogans against the president.
