On Thursday a group of Haitian unions called for a general strike on February 1 and 2 to demand that President Jovenel Moïse step down, and to protest against growing insecurity in the country.

The Lawyers Collective for the Defense of Human Rights, the Anti-Corruption Union Brigade (BSAC), the United Movement of Haitian Workers (MUTH), and the National Workers Central are among those calling for the protests.

These groups are supported by dozens of others including opposition parties, transport drivers’ unions, teachers, and human rights organizations.

Their primary objective is to force Jovenel Moïse to resign his presidency by February 7, 2021, as—they argue—is stipulated by the Constitution.
