AFP: Haiti president breaks silence after week of violent unrest
Port-au-Prince (AFP) - Haitian President Jovenel Moise on Thursday broke his silence after a week of violent protests demanding his resignation as the US announced it was pulling "non-emergency personnel" from the country over the deadly unrest.
