"Haiti protesters demand leader resign" by Associated Press | May 11, 2010
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Police fired tear gas outside the ruins of Haiti’s national palace yesterday to control 2,000 demonstrators calling for President Rene Preval’s resignation in the largest political protest since the Jan. 12 earthquake.
Trucks filled with riot police rolled behind the protesters as they jogged past tarps and shanties shouting insults at Preval, who has been criticized for his low profile following the quake and for allegedly using the destruction as a pretext to stay in office beyond his term.
“He is profiting from this disaster in order to stay in power,’’ said Herve Santilus, 39, a sociologist who was laid off a few weeks after the magnitude-7 quake struck.
He has not been able to find work since.
Many demonstrators identified themselves as supporters of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the former president who was exiled to Africa aboard a US plane during a 2004 rebellion.
A US COUP you mean, right, MSM?
Haiti's Nightmare: the Cocaine Coup and the CIA Connection
The Destabilization of Haiti
Yeah, I'll never find that stuff in my AmeriKan newspaper -- just like I never found this.
Protesters marched to the national mall following speaker trucks that trumpeted calls for Aristide’s return.
What the DEMOCRATICALLY-ELECTED Aristide?

"Storm season finds Haitians at high risk" by Associated Press | June 1, 2010
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — A hurricane season predicted to be one of the wettest on record opens today in the Caribbean, where hundreds of thousands of Haitian earthquake victims have only tarps or fraying tents to protect them in a major storm.
Seriously, where did all that aid money go and WTF has the world been doing all this time while occupying the place?
The Haitian government says it is still working on emergency and evacuation plans. But since the Jan. 12 earthquake killed up to 300,000 people and left more than 1.5 million homeless, there has been little progress on clearing rubble so people can return to their neighborhoods or build sturdier shelters....
WTF?!?!?!
This is why the coverage of Haiti has mostly disappeared in the MSM.
When GLOBAL GOVERNMENT is a FAILURE the agenda-pushing MSM HIDES IT!
Serious flooding could cause mass casualties even with thousands of aid workers present....
Is that why the globalists have failed the useless eaters, I mean Haitians (not that the Haitians eat much).
Want to try a cookie, readers?
