Encore des manifs à Port-au-Prince, la police divisée, forte répression...
Je garde l'anonymat car maintenant, ça commence a venir dangereux. Dès qu'un retour à la normalité sera là, je communiquerai mon identité.
Un degré supplémentaire vers le chaos à été franchi hier 7 janvier. Selon mes sources, (à vérifier, car depuis la province Haïtienne, il est difficile d'avoir des infos sures, mais normalement mes informateurs se sont révélés fiables)
La manifestation anti président Aristide organisée par les étudiants de Port-au-Prince, a d'abord essuyé des tirs de la part de supporters du président. Les organisateurs ayant reçu de la part de la police les garanties minimum de sécurité a ensuite redémarrée.
Des miliers de Port-au-Princien se sont spontanément ajoutés à la foule des manifestants. Les partisants du président, pauvres gens recrutés dans les banlieues pauvres, armés, payés et encouragés par le pouvoir, se sont postés sur son chemin. Inévitablement, les affrontements ont commencés.
La nouveauté : La police d'Haïti s'est scindée en deux camps, pour ou contre les manifestants et ont échangés des tirs d'armes automatiques.
Bilan : au moin deux morts et des dizaines de blessés.
Plus tard les "chimères" du pouvoir ont saccagé et pillé les magasins de la capitale, volé des voitures, (au passage tuant un enfant passagé de voiture volée) dévalisé des stations essence.

1 Killed, 13 Hurt in Haitian Student March
By PAISLEY DODDS, Associated Press Writer
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Following the example of student movements that
helped topple two presidents, university students marched against
President Jean-Bertrand Aristide on Wednesday in a protest marred by
bloody clashes that killed at least one person and wounded 13.
Aristide partisans armed with clubs, bottles and pistols jumped down from
pickups to block the marchers, who were joined by thousands of
anti-government demonstrators shouting "Freedom!" and "Down with
Aristide!" Riot police fired shots to keep government partisans away.
At the beginning of the protest, Aristide supporters attacked
demonstrators, hitting one with a rock and shooting another. Later, police
shot and killed an Aristide supporter after he opened fire on the crowd.
At another leg of the march, government partisans opened fire, wounding
two demonstrators. The Aristide supporters then surrounded a group of
students, stabbing one and beating six others. Students beat two Aristide
supporters.
"Under Aristide there will be no progress," said protester Leopold
Willeens, 26. "I'm the first student in my family to go to university, and
I want a better life."
Gunfire crackled throughout the day as smoke billowed from burning tire
barricades. Demonstrators re-grouped when Aristide supporters attacked
with bullets and rocks. Organizers stopped the march when police warned
they could no longer guarantee security.
The anti-government demonstrators and students accuse Aristide of being
power-hungry and failing to help the poor. In a country where an estimated
40 percent of the 8 million people are under 18, such activism carries
weight.
Student protests and strikes helped oust President Elie Lescot in 1946,
followed by Paul Magloire in 1956. Their opposition also led to the
weakening of the Duvalier family dictatorship, which imprisoned many
students during its 29-year regime until 1986.
The marchers join a swelling youth protest movement as many face a bleak
future. Most Haitians are jobless or without regular work, foreign
investment is at a standstill and foreign visas to countries such as the
United States and France are increasingly hard to obtain.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today it's absolutly impossible to say what we feel in this country. Today
Aristide and his partisans show to the world their intention to kill all
the oppasants who say NO to their savage practices. After their attack at
the Faculty of Human Sciences and the National Institut of High
International Studies, wher the Rector of this University had his two feet
broken, more than 30 students were hurt and materials destroyed, this
strom of violence is again among us. Today one student was dead. In this
moment there is a bloodbath in Port-au-Prince and we don't know when the
end.
Please braodcast this SOS to the world because we cannot live in this
situation. Haiti is the first black Republic in the world, but what we
find with this? I'ts absolutly important to show to the world what we live
daily onder the government of Aristide.
Revue de presse mondiale sur tout ce qui concerne Haïti
Notre correspondant anonyme s'insurge parce que les "pauvres gens" s'organisent pour barrer la route aux richards et aux exploiteurs qui descendent de Pétionville pour imposer une solution made in USA, au profit des capitalistes comme le nord-américain André Apaid... Bien sûr, il vaudrait mieux que les pauvres restent chez eux et se gardent de faire de la politique - ce serait aux élites de décider pour eux, comme c'est arrivé trop souvent dans l'histoire d'Haïti.
Décidément, la libération du peuple haïtien ne passera pas par les manoeuvres d'une "opposition" déjà compromise avec l'impérialisme (anciens macoutes, ex-partisans d'Aristide qui ont du sang sur les mains, etc.). San lame pèp la pèp la pa genyen anyen! Vive la lutte autonome des masses populaires haïtiennes pour leur émancipation!
