University students marched against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide on Wednesday, sparking bloody clashes that left at least two people dead and more than two dozen injured.
The students and other demonstrators accuse Aristide of being power-hungry and failing to help the poor.
Aristide partisans swooped down from pickups to block the student marchers, who were joined by thousands of anti-government demonstrators shouting “Freedom!” and “Down with Aristide!”
At the beginning of the protest, Aristide partisans attacked demonstrators, hitting one with a rock and shooting another. Later, police shot and killed an Aristide supporter after he opened fire on the crowd. One anti-government protester also was shot and killed.
