PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) – Heavy gunfire and traffic disruptions were seen on Friday in some areas of Haiti’s capital, the local U.S. embassy said on Friday, a day after other violent events left four police officers dead.
Violence has sparked during Primer Minister Ariel Henry’s visit to Kenya this week.
Earlier on Friday, the two countries signed a deal to secure a plan to send 1,000 police officers to lead a U.N.-approved mission aimed at tackling gang violence in the Caribbean nation.
