Haiti government faces no-confidence vote amid violent protests

The streets of Port-au-Prince are calmer now, but Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant faces a vote of no confidence in Parliament.

Anger at a botched attempt to raise fuel prices in Haiti is now leading to a no-confidence vote against the prime minister.

Calm has been restored to the streets, but there are fears of more violence if Jack Guy Lafontant refuses to step down.

A spokeswoman for the president told Al Jazeera he is ready to take action to relieve the crisis.

Gabriel Elizondo reports from Port-au-Prince.
