AI Summary:
Thousands of protesters clash with police as they demanded the government keep them safe. Some brandished machetes while others clutched tree boughs or waved palm fronds as they weave their way through the streets of Port-au-Prince. It is the first major protest to hit the administration of Alix Didier Fils-Aimé. Gangs are invading previously safe neighborhoods, killing, raping and burning houses, businesses, churches and schools. A recent U.N. Report found that more than 4,200 people were reported killed across Haiti from July to February.
