RECENT PRESS REPORTS FROM HAITI
(From the Foreign Broadcast Information Service and the British Broadcasting
Monitoring Service)
OAS NEGOTIATIONS
FBIS Port-au-Prince Radio Metropole in French -- Centrist commercial radio
station
* Y.NEPTUNE: "The superpower government, the government of force and
money is using the OAS, and hides behind a small political group of all
sorts that is associated with a small team that is defending the interests
of their foreign boss, and who claims to be representatives of civil
society. They all get together to carry on the coup d'etat system. [end

BBC Monitoring Service - United Kingdom; Oct 12, 2001 Haiti: Highlights of
Radio Metropole news 1145 gmt 11 Oct 01
* abOn the eve of the arrival of the OAS assistant secretary-general,
the FL has once again adopted an arrogant tone. The Interim FL leader Yvon
Neptune stated that a plot was being hatched by international institutions
with the support of some sectors in Haiti to overthrow President
Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
BBC Monitoring Service - United Kingdom; Oct 15, 2001; Haiti: OAS official
refers to "difficult moments" in talks with Lavalas
* ab[Einaudi] I want to tell you that we have found very significant
cooperation on the part of the members of the Democratic Convergence during
these series of discussions. And I do not want to deny the fact that there
have been difficult moments with certain representatives of the FL. [End of

BBC Monitoring Service - United Kingdom; Oct 12, 2001 Haiti: Priest in
Gonaives calls on people to "rebel against the Lavalas regime" Source: Radio
Galaxie, Port-au-Prince, in French 1230 gmt 11 Oct 01
* ab[Sejour] //The former parish priest of La Chapelle has invited all
the parents who are not working and who cannot meet the needs of their
families to rise up against the Lavalas regime as they did to undermine the
foundation of the dictatorship in the country in 1986.//
//According to Reverend Father Francois Alix Joseph, if the masses are
experiencing hunger while the government has set itself up as a true magnate
of the real-estate business by wasting money through the purchase of
luxurious houses, the taxpayers who do not get services must rise up against
this government.//... Joseph spoke at the microphone of Radio Galaxie:
[Joseph] //Exactly, as we used to do before, we must start rebelling. I
believe that when we reach a situation where the people are out of breath, a
situation of oppression and arbitrariness,// insurrection is a necessity,
insurrection is an emergency and a right of the people. So, I call on the
people for rebellion. I call on the people for insurrection. I call on the
Haitian people to rebel against the Lavalas regime //so we can rid the
country of this stinking mud that prevents the people from breathing.//
So, insurrection is an emergency today. Insurrection is necessary. We must
rise up against the Lavalas regime.
[Sejour] It should be pointed out that Light for All Haitians, //Limye pou
tout Ayisyen, LIPAY//, a people's organization close to the Lavalas regime,
almost thinks the same way as it demands the implementation of all the laws
that give the people the right to work, school, lodging, education and so
on.

* abOrganizations such as the National Union of Trained Haitian
Teachers (UNNOH), the Lavalas Grassroots Organization (Saj Veyeyo), and
Solidarity Organization (Tet Kole) are very critical towards the Lavalas
government seven years after Aristide returned to the country. In a note
released today, these organizations consider the past seven years as a
period of shame and corruption. On the political level, the groups note that
Lavalas has done nothing to institute a democratic regime in the country. On
the economic level, they denounce the structural adjustment program that
Lavalas has applied, and the economic degradation. The organizations invite
all the sectors of the population to mobilize in order to lead the country
on the road of progress and democracy.
* abThe Haitian National Police (PNH) is supposed to be looking for
several leaders of People's Organizations (OP) who are considered fugitives
from justice. More than a week ago, the justice minister had ordered the
publication of the photographs of Rene Civil, Paul Raymond, and Ronald
Camille in several police stations. Romney Cajuste reports that none of
their pictures are posted in police stations. One policeman who was
questioned said they only heard about the fugitives on the radio. The police
have not been ordered to take any action. The OP leaders, meanwhile, are in
Port-au-Prince going about their activities as usual.

* abA tense situation prevails in Boston, a section of Cite Soleil,
where tires are being burned now, according to reliable information. This
situation is the result of that fact that three persons died during a police
operation in this area Thursday evening [11 Oct]. Residents of the area
demonstrated against Aristide on Friday. "Down with Aristide; we do not want
Aristide in Cite Soleil" demonstrators shouted. By the way, Radio Haiti
Inter journalist Jean-Robert Delcine was manhandled by police who were
operating in Cite Soleil while he was covering the demonstration.

* abThe Jean Dominique Echo Foundation, FEVJD, is putting pressure on
the Senate to speed up the Dany Toussaint case. Two months after the
judicial authorities sent to the Senate the request of Examining Judge
Claudy Gassant to lift Senator Dany Toussaint's immunity for the Jean
Dominique and Jean-Claude Louissaint murder investigation, the Senate has
not yet taken any action.
