Deaths reported as UN enters Haiti slum

Haiti Information Project (HIP)

Port au Prince, Haiti(HIP)- Sustained and heavy
gunfire erupted in the pro-Aristide slum of Cite
Soleil at about 3 a.m. this morning and was followed
by an incursion into the area by hundreds of Brazilian
and Jordanian troops of the United Nations.

Cite Soleil has been among the launching sites for
recent protests demanding the return of President
Jean-Bertrand Aristide and is where he announced his
first campaign for public office in 1990. Aristide was
ousted last February 29th amid charges he was
kidnapped by U.S. Marines and remains a guest of the
Republic of South Africa where he resides.

One foreign witness stated, “I have never heard this
level of gunfire since I have been here. It was heavy
gunfire that lasted about three hours.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.
