Cholera Sparking Anti-MINUSTAH Protest In Haiti

Over the past few days there has been news reports of protest in Mirebalais and in St. Marc Haiti with protesters chanting "Down with MINUSTAH, down with imported cholera" so I have a question for you...

What happens if suddenly the people of Haiti decide it is time for the UN Peacekeepers to leave?

The BBC Reports...

Haitians have taken to the streets in protest against the Nepalese UN workers

There is controversy surrounding the outbreak of cholera in Haiti, after American scientists from the Centers for Disease Control identified that the strain of the disease which has emerged there matches strains commonly found in South Asia.

This has led to angry protests by Haitians against the presence of United Nations peacekeepers from Nepal, where cholera is endemic.

The presidential elections is less than a month away, a terrible storm is looming over Haiti, and the cholera epidemic is pointing to those who are in Haiti to "keep the peace!"

Now they are chanting against the Nepalese peacekeepers... What happens if the chanting resonates around the country?
