[Caribbean News\Haiti]
CARICOM has expressed the Community’s concerns about Haiti during a meeting with the United Nations Secretary-General during the UN General Assembly two weeks ago. The Secretariat noted that the series of demonstrations throughout the country, calling for the President to step down, were increasing in size and intensity with outbreaks of looting, vandalism and violence which have led to casualties. On several occasions, the demonstrations have paralyzed the country for days. The crisis has led to a deteriorating social, economic and humanitarian situation.
