Haitian Senators calling on PM to quit

More in disturbance in Haiti is being reported all over the news, as 16 Haitian Senators have called on Prime Minister Jacques-Edouard Alexis to resign. A new report indicates these Senators are threatening to fire Alexis if he does not resign by today.

You all have probably seen national and international news of coverage of the outrage and violent protests in Port-Au-Prince and other Haitian cities over extreme hikes in food prices. The economic situation has worsened in the past weeks, food shortages threaten the livelihood of many Haitians and several international service organizations scramble to send emergency aid to the country.

More to come...any organizations sending aid to Haiti, please contact us so we can get the word out!
