It was reported that thousands of protesters rampaged divers neighborhoods in the capital. They set fire to the headquarter of the Unite party. We were able to see flames and smokes coming out of the facility before fire trucks arrived at the location and control the fire.

The Haitian police and the U.N. force in Haiti were outnumbered and unable to control the situation. Businesses and schools remained closed the entire day
