PORT-AU-PRINCE — Thousands joined demonstrations in Haiti’s capital and other cities Sept. 7 to protest against the rising cost of living, skyrocketing crime and fuel shortage, demanding for the third consecutive week the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry.

Protesters started off from the Champ de Mars in downtown Port-au-Prince and marched through the neighborhood of Delmas to Pétion-Ville, bringing activities in all three neighborhoods to a standstill. Some demonstrators erected barricades with burning tires to block access to the roads. In Route de Frères, residents used big rocks, branches to block traffic.
