Haitian police officers on Thursday blocked streets and forced their way into the country's main airport to protest the recent killing of officers by armed gangs expanding their grip on the Caribbean nation.
Protesters in civilian clothes who identified themselves as police first attacked Prime Minister Ariel Henry's official residence, according to a Reuters witness, and then flooded the airport as Henry was arriving from a trip to Argentina.
Haiti's National Police and the Prime Minister's Office did not immediately respond to requests for comment. "History will remember they did nothing to protect and preserve the lives of these agents who chose to serve their country," it added, urging police to remember their duty to protect to Haitian people, despite their "frustrations".
