Current Event 3:Gunshots heard in Haitian tent city

this article was about how gunshots were heard in the presidential palace in Haiti, and it was the most serious confrontation since the infamous quake. Thousands of Haitians have been left homeless and living in tents since January 12Th. Demonstrators lit the tents on fire, and earlier in the day they were protesting the governments inaction to the aftermath of the quake.

this article is of global importance because since Haiti is the most impoverished place on the western hemisphere, and the fact that there has been no action to improve the conditions is plain inhumane. but there is no reason to light a tent city of innocent civilians on fire. there needs to be a specific course of action to get Haiti back on their feet.
