Haitians Mark May Day with Calls for Living Wages, Ouster of President Moïse
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Haiti, protesters filled streets of Port-au-Prince on May Day calling
for an increase in the minimum wage in the Western Hemisphere's poorest
country. They also called on President Jovenel Moïse to step down over
an embezzlement scandal that saw some $4.3 billion in Petro Caribe funds
earmarked for social development go missing.
