FATAL FLASHPOINT GETS CLOSER AS TENSIONS INCREASE – A FEW STUDENT DEATHS COULD COLLAPSE JOVENEL’S GAME – MAKING WAY FOR NESMY MANIGAT INTERIM PRESIDENCY- Added COMMENTARY BY HAITIAN-TRUTH

Haiti - FLASH : Students set fire to Faculty of Ethnology

Monday afternoon, students of the Faculty of Ethnology came to protest against the decision to dismiss several of their colleagues. The impossibility of finding an agreement with the Dean Yves Blot who was then in his vehicle, for the reinstatement of the students sanctioned and following a slight incident where a student was accidentally overthrown by the Dean’s car, the students gave free rein to their anger, burning at least three cars parked in the Faculty and a part of the building that served as reading space and cafeteria.

Barricades of burning tires were erected at the corner of the rue Magloire Ambroise and Saint-Honoré.

The agents of the Body of Intervention and Maintenance of Order (CIMO) intervened to restore order and protect the staff of the Faculty, followed by firefighters who came to circumscribe and extinguish the fire and prevent it from spreading further.

COMMENT: HAITIAN-TRUTH.ORG
These ongoing problems at the Ministry of Education have nothing to do with education. Many of the people are not students. The problem should be dealt with FIRMLY – otherwise President Moise may well collapse before September.

A meeting was held last Sunday to discuss the collapse of Jovenel’s government in July, followed by the installation of Nesmy Manigat as Interim President.
