Currently in Haiti, the people are fighting the gas companies as they continue to hold gas from the people. Initially when this began back in August, the people of Haiti were able to obtain gas, but the amount was restricted or monitored. As time continues to pass, the gas companies became more strict eventually offering no gas to the people and only offering it to private services. Since many of the residents of Haiti require gas to earn a living by driving motos (bike taxis), this has left a hole in their pockets. The people of Haiti have turned to violence, starting riots and creating road blocks, ensuring the gas trucks cannot pass and make their scheduled deliveries. In some cases the certain gangs in Haiti have hijacked gas trucks, causing the truck drivers to go on strike and not deliver gas at all. The people of Haiti are crying out for the President to take action, but he continues to support the gas companies, keeping the people of Haiti in a state of civil unrest.
