Unrest in Grand Goave

The mayor of Grand Goave has completed his term, but he refuses to leave.  This has caused a state of unrest in town.  For the last few nights, there has been gunshots in the night.  Yesterday, there were gun shots during the day and a diesel truck was set on fire out on the highway.  The UN police has made their presence known here.  Some of the gun shots we hear, are likely the police shooting into the air to try to disperse the crowds.
Haiti Arise campus is just out of town, and we have 24 hour security, so we feel quite safe.  Marc stayed here last night as he did not want to make the trek on his motor bike to his house which is in town.
