Haiti: Protesters Demand Ouster of President Michel Martelly
------------------------------------------------------------

In Haiti, massive street protests continue as residents demand the
ouster of President Michel Martelly. This comes after protests succeeded
in postponing Sunday's presidential runoff vote amid a race mired in
fraud. The runoff vote was slated to feature only one candidate,
President Martelly's handpicked successor, Jovenel Moïse, after his
competitor, Jude Célestin, boycotted the election. The United States has
been criticized for supporting the disputed October elections.
