Major Demonstration Canceled

While thousands of people were preparing to take to the streets against insecurity and the government, the demonstration was canceled and postponed indefinitely at the last minute by Samuel, the Canapé-Vert Brigade Chief and former member of the National Palace General Security Unit (USGPN), to prevent a massacre of the population. Samuel explained that several hundred individuals had been mobilized to massacre the protesters. Despite this cancellation, the already mobilized protesters took to the streets to express their anger at the authorities for their lack of security measures. They erected barricades of burning tires, blocked streets, and reported stone-throwing and vandalism of vehicles, despite the deployment of a large police and military presence.
