EXAMINATION RESULTS ELECTIONS
And finally happened and what everyone figured would happen. And that is: flaming barricades, provincial towns and roads blocked, more or less violent demonstrations, country paralyzed, everything closed including the airport, looting, throwing stones, machinery and other property damaged and of course the injured and dead in the capital and in other cities of the country.
Actually, everything began 'Tuesday evening just after 20.30 , and that is when finally the election results of the examination were made public in a statement "extraordinary" to the nation through radio and television stations. And, as if people already knew more or less what she felt were the results and had already had plenty of time to erect barricades with burning tires and any thing, that's different bonfires were lit ', especially in the streets not far from the place of Provisional Electoral Council. So, already the evening of December 7 the riots began with a large event that did not last long. There followed a shooting on the night bit everywhere but without too many major incidents .... a nice nap and then off, fresh start for the 'dance' in the morning!
In fact, in the morning, with the passing of hours, we had heard from a few different radio and TV station with live images of what was happening in the city. Thousands of people were in the street, barricades everywhere, there were very few cars on the road, mostly the press, police and UN tanks. In some places the demonstrations were relatively peaceful, in others there were some real battles with tear gas, throwing stones and police offices. Hostile slogans against the ruling party and the Electoral Council, guilty of having rigged the elections (according to the thousands of people on the street) and favored the party's candidate Jude Ce Lestina . The the balance of the day in general and four deaths and several injuries, but if there had been such a massive presence of international forces in all parts of the city, things would have made a lot more because the crowd was really bad angry today.
If it were not for such a minimal difference between Jude Celestin, the second candidate to have received the most votes, and Michel Martelly, the third candidate, perhaps we would all these disorders. The problem is that the second of January ballottagio go there the first two candidates to have obtained the most votes and that is MIRLAND Manigat, (wife of a former president who cover the charge between 07/02/1988 and 06/20/1988, deposed by a coup) and Jude Celestin, dolphin party currently in power. Michel Martelly In third place is known Haitian singer, who and 'thrown' on the political scene recently and no doubt enjoys a great popularity and good will among the nations. The gap has been a few thousand cards and complaints of vote rigging in favor of Jude Celestin were made 3-4 hours after the start of the election Sunday, November 28 . So, in essence, the protests against electoral fraud that have helped to secure (at least the crowd), the candidate of the ruling party on the road and there are thousands of people chanted slogans in favor of Michel Martelly who came out and uncovered in the late afternoon of yesterday calling for calm the population.
But the demonstrations continued for almost the entire day yesterday, with peaks of incredible crowd between 11 am and 3 pm ....... then people gradually and returned home around 5 and the streets were deserted with signs of the battle of the day and promised to continue today. With the outbreak of cholera that is doing a pandemonium in the south of the country, in the area of \u200b\u200bJacmel, some days, and that emanates as an imminent threat of plague itself here in the capital, here we are also experiencing these days of intense anxiety and insecurity. Here the mission, however, all is well enough . Our area is a little device, and there are almost never shows or things like that and in fact, despite the fact that everything was paralyzed in the city, our schools have worked. With half of the children but they came and most of the teachers were there to take care of them. Now it's raining and the sky is overcast, so it remains a good part of the day then we will have a bit of tranquility in the city and maybe some activities will resume. I made time to stock up on food, fuel, medicine and even money at home ....... you never know in these cases no one can predict how these protests can last . My hope is that the discontent of the population, and also to various embassies of nations 'friends' like the U.S., France, Canada, Cuba and other Caribbean countries, too conscious of the fact that electoral fraud were grotesque and obvious , reach the ears of those responsible for current and power of the Provisional Electoral Committee. We hope you do something to sort out the situation. Hello
soon, Maurizio
