Yesterday, about 2,000 people in Haiti's capital, took to the streets protesting against the Haitian government saying that it is corrupt and ineffective. These protestors are demanding that President Martelly step down as President and leave the country.
This is not the first anti-government demonstration this year. In September, several thousand people marched to criticize the Martelly administration for not doing enough to keep down the cost of living.

President Michel Martelly is a former pop star who was sworn in as president last year. Many Haitians hoped his government would improve their living situation after the 2010 earthquake but many people are saying that he has fallen short of their expectations. The Martelly government has not mentioned anything on the matter thus far.
