A couple of missionaries from Weyburn, Sask. were forced to leave Haiti due to escalating protests, but they hope to return in the near future.

Since Feb. 7, thousands of demonstrators have called for President Jovenel Moise and Ceant to resign and for an independent probe into the whereabouts of funds from the PetroCaribe agreement, an alliance between Caribbean countries and Venezuela.

Haiti has seen a spike in protests in recent months, with a few of them turning violent.
