Haiti gripped by tension as president stays out of sight 1 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseA general strike shut down most of Haiti Wednesday as tension and uncertainty gripped the Caribbean country following deadly protests over the weekend and the president’s unexplained absence from public. At least three people were killed by gunfire during mass protests over the weekend demanding Moise’s resignation, the national police said. “We had technical failures,” Emmanuel Jean-Francois, an advisor to the president, said Wednesday after being reached by telephone. But investigations by the Haitian Senate in 2016 and 2017 concluded that nearly $2 billion from the program were misused.
