UN says soldier killed in its Haiti peacekeeping mission
A UN soldier was killed Saturday in the Haitian capital, the recent site of deadly riots over rising food prices, according to a mission spokeswoman. UN troops did not return fire after the soldier was shot, spokeswoman Sophie Boutaud de la Combe said.
Must have been the mighty Uruguayans ...
The soldier was a member of a 1,000-strong unit that deals with riots, she said.
Dealt with it well, didn't they ...
She had no further details.

Protesters have clashed with UN soldiers this week and have blamed the government for a failure to create jobs and control soaring food prices.
One of the more basic problems Haiti has is that the populace thinks it's the government's responsibility to create jobs and find food ...
Haiti's Senate on Saturday ousted Prime Minister Jacques Edouard Alexis over the handling of the crisis.

A small group that gathered near the Port-au-Prince marketplace said troops had fired tear gas at them. They chanted "Down with MINUSTAH," referring to the French acronym for the UN force. A small fire burned nearby as vendors skeedadled gathered their belongings.
