Voting got off to a rough start in volatile Haiti as angry mobs stormed voting centres that failed to open on time, with one person dying of a heart attack and another of asphyxia. Several more people were injured or fainted as they were trampled or shoved by crowds that rushed voting offices. Many voters rose well before dawn, walked for several hours only to wait in long lines to cast their ballot in the first election since Jean Bertrand Aristide, the former president, fled the violence-wracked country two years ago. There were no reports of violence overnight. "We had a very calm night, contrary to past election eves in Haiti," said Juan Gabriel Valdez, the UN special representative to Haiti. |
