Fears of rising violence in capital
Sibylla Brodzinsky in Port-au-Prince
Sunday March 7, 2004
The Observer

Anger is growing in Haiti and there are fears of more violence on the streets of the capital Port-au-Prince today as thousands are expected to turn out for a protest march against the toppling of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
After a week of anarchy following Aristide's resignation and departure, armed gangs that support the former leader have continued their shooting and looting sprees, while the rebels who fought to depose him have been parading around the city.

Now the warring factions are being quelled by the presence of more than 2,000 international troops, mostly US marines, who patrol the streets of the capital in armoured vehicles. But in much of the country no one really knows who is in control

1. No one really knows who's in control in Iraq. What else is new? This
administration could screw up a two car funeral procession.
