TABARRE/DELMAS, HAITI — Motorcycle drivers took to the streets in the communes of Tabarre and Delmas Wednesday, blocking roads with fiery barricades in protest against the continuing increase in fuel prices, Le Nouvelliste reported.

The Office for the Monetization of Development Assistance Programs (BMPAD) announced earlier this week that a shipment of gas products had arrived to supply the market.
