Haitian civil unrest enters third day despite fuel hike reversalBy Andres Martinez Casares PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Protesters blocked streets in Haiti on Sunday while many damaged or looted stores stayed closed for a third day following anger over steep fuel price increases in the Caribbean nation. The U.S. embassy warned its citizens to avoid the unrest in the capital Port-au-Prince and reschedule travel plans as several airlines canceled flights.
