On Monday March 12, 2007, beginning at about 7:30 AM throughout the streets of the capital the cry of "Chávez" was heard. In front of the airport in Port-au-Prince legions of supporters arrived minute after minute. "Chávez, Chávez, it is you whom we seek... President Préval needs your help to return Aristide" people sang joyfully on their way to greet Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez.

By 10:00 AM supporters had set up signs and streamers praising Chávez and denoucing Bush.: "Viva Chávez, Down Bush", "President Aristide must return to his country". "We love you, Chávez". Supporters from Cite Soleil denounced the violence of the "blue helmets" in their community. Tens of thousands had gathered.

Mr. Deshomme Présentgloire, a Fanmi Lavalas spokesman for the Bases Reflexion, observed "As members of Fanmi Lavalas and other groups, we come to greet President Chávez by telling him 'Welcome!' because he is a man of conscience and who loves the Haitian people. We also ask him to assist the President of South Africa in the process of returning President Aristide. We ask President Préval today to set the date for his return. That is what brings us here this morning".

1. Aristide must be returned

Interesting what happened. He demanded that France pay reparations to the former colony and he refused a free trade agreement with the US and OOPS France and the US depose him. STOP RACISTS FROM TREATING HAITI LIKE A SLAVE STATE. They CANNOT STAND the fact that this majority black colony broke away and defied them both. It is just as hated as Cuba, Vietnam, Korea, Venezuela, Iran and other countries who refuse to bow and worship at the feet of the US and other racist imperialists.
