Two killed in anti-UN riots over cholera outbreak

ANTI-UN riots spread to several Haitian cities yesterday as protesters blaming foreign peacekeepers for a deadly outbreak of cholera exchanged gunfire with soldiers.

The protests left at least two people dead. A demonstrator was shot dead by a UN peacekeeper in Quartier Morin, near Haiti’s second-largest city of Cap-Haitien.

Haiti Senate President Kelly Bastien said that a second demonstrator was shot and killed in Cap-Haitien itself.
