Letter Re: Food Riots in Haiti
Mr. Rawles,
The BBC and several other news outlets are reporting Food Riots in Haiti, where
food scarcity and price increases have resulted in violence. Reports say mobs
are looting shops, burning cars, blocking roads, and shooting at UN Peacekeepers.
It is also reported one man was shot to death by UN Peacekeepers. The rioters
are responding to food prices increasing some 50% over the past year. Apparently
the United States and France will be sending more money to assist in subsidizing
food prices. There's plenty of information about this showing online. Here
are a couple of links, one
from the British Broadcasting Corporation, and one
from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. - KMA
