Crisis shuts down Haiti assembly
EFLThe mandate of most parliament members in Haiti runs out on Monday - meaning that President Jean-Bertrand Aristide will have to rule by decree. This comes after the largest demonstrations yet against the government on Sunday in the capital Port-au-Prince. A supporter of Mr Aristide was killed in a separate protest. Snip...to the money quote: "George Bush and Colin Powell you have gone to Iraq now you must come to Haiti - Aristide is like Saddam Hussein," said one of the 10,000 demonstrators who crowded through the streets of the Haitian capital on Sunday.
