Hyppolite to Kathy:

<<  I don't know
 why Aristide made the decision before consulting with "scholars" of the
 religion, i.e. the Mambos like yourself, the Houngans, and the Bókós. >>

Aristide has been meeting with the vodou representatives since 1996 and again
in 2001 to present.  These meetings were attended by representatives from
throughout the country, were open to the press, and were publicized.

Through an open mike they voiced their concerns and their proposals and the
government has responded.
