17312: anonymous: demonstration pro-Aristide (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

Port-au-Prince
10:00 this morning, Rue Pie XII, in front the back door of the US Embassy
Some people gather...

11:00 Some 50 people, lead by a woman, sing peacefully songs in favour of
President Aristide...

11:45: a woman with a cameraman interview and film the people


Songs sang :

"Si Aristid pa la
Kiyès k ap ranplase l"

"Si yo manyen Titid,
N ap fè yon sezaryèn
Si yo manyen pouvwa a
N ap fè yon sezaryèn
Yo mèt di nou chimè
N ap fè yon sezaryèn"

"Yo mèt monte diri a
Nou pap rele aba"

Translation:
"If Aristide is not there,
Who will take his place"
"If they touch Titid,
We will make a Ceasarean section
If they touch the power
We will make a Ceasarean section
They can well call us chimè
We will make a Ceasarean section"

"Even if they rise the rice [price]
We won't say '[Aristide] down' "
