In Haiti, residents stoned UN peacekeepers
Residents of northern and central parts of Haiti protested on Monday 15 November against UN peacekeepers staying in the country.

They say that the peacekeepers are to blame for the cholera epidemic that has already claimed the lives of more than 900 people.

The riots spread to Cap Haitien - the second largest city of Haiti -. There, after clashes with peacekeepers, the mob set fire to the police station.
Throughout the city they burned cars and because of the riots schools and businesses had to close.
