PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Haitians piled bodies along
the devastated streets of their capital Wednesday after
a powerful earthquake crushed thousands of
structures, from schools and shacks to the National
Palace and the U.N. peacekeeping headquarters.
Untold numbers were still trapped.
Tens of thousands of people lost their homes as
buildings that were flimsy and dangerous even under
normal conditions collapsed. Nobody offered an
estimate of the dead, but the numbers were clearly
enormous.
"The hospitals cannot handle all these victims," said
Dr. Louis-Gerard Gilles. "Haiti needs to pray. We all
need to pray together."
The U.N.'s 9,000 peacekeepers in Haiti, many of whom
are from Brazil, were distracted from aid efforts by
their own tragedy: Many spent the night hunting for
survivors in the ruins of their headquarters.
The quake struck at 4:53 p.m., centered 10 miles (15
kilometers) west of Port-au-Prince at a depth of only it
is the strongest earthquake since 1770 in what is now
Haiti.
Most Haitians are desperately poor, and after years of
political instability the country has no real
construction standards. In November 2008, following
the collapse of a school in Petionville, the mayor of
Port-au-Prince estimated about 60 percent of buildings
were shoddily built and unsafe normally. ." MORE

Haiti: After the Devastation, the Emotional Wreckage.
The scale of the earthquake devastation in Haiti is all
but impossible to measure accurately now.
Eventually, it will be reduced to hard numbers: so
many people killed, so many buildings destroyed, so
much wealth and infrastructure lost. There will,
however, be invisible injuries too - to the psyches of
the survivors. Emotional wounds may be the slowest
to develop, but they can also be among the toughest to
heal.
It may seem premature to think about now, but
Haitians who survive the horrific earthquake will be
at risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD).

Indeed, most people function remarkably well in the
midst of a crisis. It's only when the shaking or the
shooting or the flooding stops that PTSD begins to
appear. "The psychological impact doesn't occur until
several months later," said Nicolas. "When things get
quiet...you start to feel the impact and the sadness of
the images you witnessed."
That post part of the post-traumatic reaction is what so
often takes people by surprise. The brain, however,
processes fear in a particularly lasting way and once
lessons about danger are learned they're very hard to
unlearn.
The relief teams now pouring into Haiti from around
the world do include plenty of doctors, and among
them are mental health professionals. For now,
however, they will be performing only psychological
triage. "The victims aren't equipped for counselling
now and the psychologists will be doing mostly
assessment
Ultimately, though, the PTSD will show itself.
Treatment, which is readily available and very
effective in the developed world, includes cognitive
therapy (reframing the experience as something
terrible but survivable) and behavioral therapy
(gradual exposure to the memories and images the
person is trying to avoid in order to strip them of their
power). Antidepressants and other drugs may also
help.
the victims may have to rely on what is known as
lakou - the extended web of friends and neighborhood
that forms a critical part of Haitian culture.
"In Haiti," she says, "people in your neighborhood are
an integral part of your family. If you're a family of two
and you live in a lakou, you have 15 family members
that will be responding to you at any given time if you
need it." A country that is poor in so many things, is at
least rich in that. It's something Haitians will need
more than ever as they face the months ahead.

The United States has been heavily involved in

Clinton restored Aristide to power in 1994 after a

country again in 2004 following a rapidly
spreading uprising against his government.
The disaster is the latest to befall the country of

Maryland.

Hurricane Gordon killed more than 1,000 people

And in 2004, Hurricane Jeanne killed more than
3,000 people as it passed north of Haiti, with
most of the deaths in the northwestern city of
Gonaives.
Gonaives was hit heavily again in 2008, when
four tropical systems passed through one after

In addition, a Haitian school collapsed in

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – They wait outside
crumbled schools or shattered markets,
searching for sisters, fathers, children, lovers.
They stand vigil at smashed buildings where
sons were last known to be, or at tangles of
concrete where their mothers once went
shopping.
Across the ruins of Port-au-Prince — and from
computer screens around the world — people
are desperate to learn whether loved ones are
among the living — or buried anonymously.
The scale of the earthquake devastation in
Haiti is all but impossible to measure
accurately now. Eventually, it will be reduced
to hard numbers: so many people killed, so
many buildings destroyed, so much wealth and
infrastructure lost. There will, however, be
invisible injuries too - to the psyches of the
survivors. Emotional wounds may be the
slowest to develop, but they can also be

HAITI, The town of Leogane is at the
epicentre of Haiti’s disastrous
earthquake – with up to 30,000 dead
and almost all its buildings flattened.
A 40-strong British search and rescue
team was the first to reach it yesterday
– and the Mirror was with them.
Twelve miles west of capital Port-au-
Prince, it used to have a population of
100,000 but now its centre is just a
waste land with fallen twisted power
cables threaded through rubble like
spiders’ webs.
Two mass graves line the main road, a
few yellowed bodies thrown in to start a
third. Nearby, huddles of people beg for
help. Armed men stand defiantly to
defend a health clinic-turned-shelter
against all comers.
This area had received no aid since
last Tuesday’s cataclysm and the scene
has been described as apocalyptic.

| Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 were to strike today, it would result in insured losses of $125 billion,, due to the greater concentration of people and property in coastal areas. Back then, however, few carried insurance. But Americans seem to have learned their lesson. Our ranking of the ten costliest catastrophes to hit the U.S. based on insured losses is dominated entirely by events of the past two decades. Even a relatively recent catastrophe, such as 1992’s Hurricane Andrew, would be three times as costly today. ----------------------------------------- 10 Costliest Catastrophes in the U.S. #1. Hurricane Katrina, Year: 2005 Areas affected: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee. Insured losses (then): $41.1 billion Disaster insurance tip: Most homeowners insurance policies exclude floods. Check yours. The National Flood Insurance Program offers supplemental flood coverage to anyone in the U.S. The average flood premium is about $600 a year. Basic policies for low- to moderate- risk areas start at $129. Prepared By Anthony Jeanty From: Knowledgefinancial.com And Buyheremarket Enterprise. VISIT: WWW.BUYHEREMARKET.COM |
| 2. Hurricane Andrew, Year: 1992 Areas affected: Florida, Louisiana . Insured losses (then): $15.5 billion Disaster insurance tip: Mold is a four- letter word in the insurance business. If water enters your home, be it due to wind- driven rain, rising floodwaters or even a leaky pipe, work quickly to dry out wet spots and prevent future infiltration. Moisture is the key to mold growth. Also think twice before submitting a small water-related claim. -------------------------------------------------- 3. 9/11 Terrorist Attacks, United States Department of Homeland Security Year: 2001 Areas affected: New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia Insured losses (then): $18.8 billion. be covered by standard policies in the event of a terrorist attack. In general, if your policy covers the type of damage you experience, such as fire, then you’ll get reimbursed even if the damage results from terrorism. Keep in mind, however, that homeowners insurance and renters insurance typically exclude acts of war and nuclear disasters ------------------------------------------------------ 4. Northridge (Calif.) Earthquake // Federal Emergency Management Agency // Year: 1994 Areas affected: California // Insured losses (then): $12.5 billion Disaster insurance tip: California doesn’t have a monopoly on earthquakes. A big quake centered in Virginia shook the East Coast in 2011. Damage to your car should be covered by your auto policy, but standard homeowners insurance excludes earthquakes. To insure your home, you’ll need to add an endorsement to your policy or purchase separate earthquake insurance. Prepared By Anthony Jeanty From: Knowledgefinancial.com And Buyheremarket Enterprise. |
| 5. Hurricane Ike // Federal Emergency Management Agency // Year: 2008 Areas affected: Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas. Insured losses (then): $12.5 billion Disaster insurance tip: Filing an insurance claim after a disaster is hard enough, but it’s especially tough if you don’t have detailed records of your belongings. That’ s where a home inventory comes in. Use a digital camera or camcorder to document your possessions. Online inventory programs are also available. Or simple pen and paper can do the job. No matter the method, keep a copy of your home inventory in a safe place --------------------------------------------- //---- 6. Hurricane Wilma // Year: 2005 // Areas affected: Florida // Insured losses (then): $10.3 billion Disaster insurance tip: The IRS allows taxpayers who itemize to deduct casualty losses related to disasters such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and even volcanic eruptions. The calculations can get tricky. In general, to figure your deduction you’ll need to subtract any insurance reimbursements from your loss, then subtract $100 for each casualty that occurs during the year, and then subtract 10% of your adjustable gross income. Any leftover amount is your deductible casualty loss. ------------------------------------------------------ 7. Hurricane Charley // Federal Emergency Management Agency // Year: 2004 Areas affected: Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina -// Insured losses (then): $7.5 billion Disaster insurance tip: Keep important documents secure from the ravages of disaster. It’s usually best to stash wills, deeds, birth certificates, marriage licenses and the like away from home, such as in a bank safe-deposit box. If you prefer to have originals close at hand, invest in a fireproof and waterproof safe. Online backup services, such as Mozy.com and Carbonite.com, allow you, for a fee, to preserve your electronic files in the event computers and other devices are destroyed. Prepared By Anthony Jeanty From: Knowledgefinancial.com And Buyheremarket Enterprise. VISIT: WWW.BUYHEREMARKET.COM |
| 8. Hurricane Ivan // Federal Emergency Management Agency // year: 2004 Areas affected: Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia // Insured losses (then): $7.1 billion Disaster insurance tip: Preparation is the key to weathering any calamity. Long before disaster strikes, review your home, auto and life insurance to ensure that policies are up to date. Keep a list of important phone numbers handy, including the direct line to your insurance agent. Devise an evacuation plan for your family, and put together an emergency kit. Useful items include a portable radio, a rechargeable lantern and perhaps even a wad of cash in case you can’t get to a bank. --------------------------------------------------- 9. Hurricane Hugo // U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration // Year: 1989 Areas affected: Georgia, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Virginia, U.S. Virgin Islands Insured losses (then): $4.2 billion Disaster insurance tip: Don’t delay until the last minute to look into disaster insurance. There are often mandatory waiting periods before a policy kicks in. With flood insurance, for example, the wait is usually 30 days. Foot- dragging can prove costly. Just an inch of floodwater can cause about $21,000 in damage to a typical home. ---------------------------------------------------- - 10. Hurricane Rita // // Year: 2005 Areas affected: Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas // Insured losses (then): $5.6 billion Disaster insurance tip: Having the right insurance coverage in place is indispensible in the event of a disaster, but you shouldn’ pay a penny more in premiums than necessary. There are three easy ways to save on home and auto insurance. First, shop around. Different carriers offer different rates. Second, ask about multi-policy discounts, claims-free discounts and others. Third, raise your deductible to the highest amount you can afford. Prepared By Anthony Jeanty From: Knowledgefinancial.com And Buyheremarket Enterprise.

Spain ceded Haiti (then called Saint-Dominque) to France in 1697.
Haiti became France's most prosperous colony in the
Americas and one of the world's chief coffee and
sugar producers.
The pattern of settlement took the French south in the 18th cent. and society
became stratified into Frenchmen, Creoles, freed blacks, and black slaves.
Between the blacks and the French and Creoles were the mulattoes, whose
social status was indeterminate. When French-descended Creole planters
sought to prevent mulatto representation in the French National Assembly and
in local assemblies in Saint-Dominque, the mulattoes revolted under the
leadership of Vincent Ogé.
This rebellion destroyed the rigid structure of Haitian society. The blacks
formed guerrilla bands led by Toussaint L'Ouverture, a former slave who had
been made an officer of the French forces on Hispaniola.
/
When the English invaded Haiti in 1793 during the Napoleonic Wars, Toussaint
maintained an uneasy alliance with the mulatto André Rigaud and cooperated
with the remnant of French governmental authority.
In 1795, Spain ceded its part of the island to France, and in 1801 Toussaint
conquered it, abolished slavery, and proclaimed himself governor-general of
an autonomous government over all Hispaniola.
Napoleon sent his brother-in-law, Gen. Charles Leclerc, with a huge punitive
force to restore order in 1802, but he was unable to conquer the interior.

troops, already ravaged by yellow fever, to withdraw.
The rebels received unexpected aid from U.S. President Thomas

After the dictator Guillaume Sam was killed in
a popular uprising in 1915, the United States,
troubled over its property and investments in the country and fearing
Germany might seize Haiti, took the opportunity to invade Port-au-Prince.
The Haitian congress was forced to accept an agreement permitting U.S.
control over customs receipts; two years later the resident American naval
commander dissolved the congress and dictated a new constitution.
Although financial and general material progress advanced under
American military occupation, Haiti protested against U.S. violation of its
sovereignty, and a U.S. Senate investigation in 1921 found that the avowed
purpose of preparing Haiti for responsible self-government had been
ignored. In 1930 a U.S. presidential commission recommended that Haiti be
allowed to elect a legislature that would, in turn, name a president.
Sténio Vincent, a vocal opponent of U.S. military occupation, was chosen by
the legislators. The marines were finally withdrawn in 1934, although U.S.
fiscal control was maintained until 1947.

The Struggles of Nationhood
After independence the remaining French and
Creoles were expelled, and Jean-Jacques
Dessalines, an ex-slave, proclaimed himself
emperor. His assassination (1806) led to the division of Haiti into a black-
controlled north under Emperor Henri Christophe and a mulatto-ruled south
under President Alexandre Pétion. After their deaths Haiti was unified by
Jean Pierre Boyer, who also brought (1822–44) Santo Domingo under Haitian
control.
Seeking to indemnify French planters, Boyer brought financial ruin to Haiti;
he was exiled in 1843. Haiti's last emperor (1847–59) was Faustin Soulouque.
Since the end of his reign, the country has been a republic. Political and
social conflict persisted, intensified by the mulatto-black hostility, and Haiti's
economy, which had never recovered from the violent struggle for
independence, declined further.

Political instability persisted in Haiti after World War
II, and the country's future was clouded by rising
turbulence in the Dominican Republic and by the
emergence of a Communist Cuba. François ("Papa Doc")
Duvalier, who was elected president in 1957, suppressed opposition
through the creation of his paramilitary secret police, the tonton macoutes.
In 1964 he proclaimed himself president for life.
Upon his death in 1971 he was succeeded by his 19-year-old son,
Jean-Claude ("Baby Doc"), who also became president for life. After 15
additional years of corruption, repression, and inequality under the younger
Duvalier, popular discontent became great enough to induce him to flee the
country in 1986.

Duvalier, popular discontent became great enough to induce him to flee the
country in 1986.
Starting in 1986 there were several brief attempts at
civilian democracy, each terminated by a military
coup. In Sept., 1991, Jean-Bertrand Aristide was forced to flee the
country only nine months after becoming the first freely elected president in
Haiti's history.
The United States and the Organization of American States responded with a
trade embargo, and in 1993 a UN-sponsored oil embargo was imposed. An
accord in 1993 providing for Aristide's return was repudiated by the army,
which used terrorist violence to maintain power.
'' In 1994 the United Nations approved a nearly total trade embargo, and later
authorized the use of force to restore democratic rule.
On Sept. 18, 1994, as U.S. forces were poised to invade the island, an accord
was negotiated. Haiti's military leaders relinquished power under an amnesty,
and U.S. forces landed to oversee the transition. Aristide returned on Oct. 15
as president; U.S. troops were largely replaced by UN peacekeepers in Mar.,
1995. In the December presidential election that year, René Préval was
elected to succeed Aristide.
In Apr., 1996, the last U.S. troops left, except for a few hundred in the capital
who remained until Jan., 2000; meanwhile, after a wave of political killings, the
United States suspended aid to Haiti.

In Apr., 1996, the last U.S. troops left, except for a few hundred in the capital
who remained until Jan., 2000; meanwhile, after a wave of political killings, the
United States suspended aid to Haiti.
In Jan., 1999, following a series of
disagreements with Haitian legislators, Préval
declared that their terms had expired, and he
began ruling by decree. Parliamentary elections were finally
held in May–June, 2000. They gave Aristide's Lavalas Family party an
overwhelming majority in both houses, but the method of counting the votes,
in which only those won by the four leading candidates were tallied and
candidates thus did not need to win an actual absolute majority, was widely
criticized.
In Nov., 2000, Aristide was again elected president,
winning nearly 92% of the votes cast, but turnout for the
election was light. The following year Amnesty International said that human
rights and the rule of law had diminished in Haiti, citing harassment of
opposition politicians and attacks on journalists. There was an apparent coup
attempt against Aristide in Dec., 2001, although it was unclear who was behind
it. The political stalemate with the opposition led to the freezing of foreign aid
and ongoing economic hardship in Haiti.
Violence between supporters and opponents of the president increased in
2003, and several of Aristide's cabinet ministers resigned bu the end of the
year. Parliamentary elections failed to be held, resulting in the dissolution of
parliament in Jan., 2004, leaving Aristide to rule by decree and sparking
recurring anti-Aristide opposition demonstrations in the streets. In February an
armed uprising began in Gonaïves, and by the end of the month armed rebels
consisting of disaffected gangs formerly allied with the government, former
soldiers, paramilitaries, and police, and others, were on the verge of entering
the capital.
Under pressure from the United States and France, Aristide resigned and went
into exile, subsequently accusing U.S. and French officials variously of duping,
coercing, or kidnapping him. U.S., French, Canadian, and Chilean forces arrived
to maintain order, and an interim government headed by Gérard Latortue, a
former foreign minister, was established.
The Caribbean Community, however, refused to
recognize Prime Minister Latortue, and called for a UN
investigation into Aristide's resignation. Subsequently, CARICOM decided not
to readmit Haiti until after the reestablishment of a democratically elected
government. In April Latortue announced that general elections for a new
government would be held in 2005, but they were subsequently postponed
several times during 2005 due to inadequate preparation. A UN peacekeeping
force led by Brazil began replacing U.S., Canadian, and French forces in June,
2004.
Flooding from heavy rains in May killed some 1,700 in
the south near the Dominican Republic, and in
September Tropical Storm Jeanne caused additional
deadly flooding, especially in the area around
Gonaïves, where some 2,500 died. The September flooding also caused
significant agricultural damage. Unrest and lawlessness on the part of Aristide
supporters and opponents continued to be a problem in the country, despite
the presence of foreign peacekeepers. In Nov., 2005, the much delayed 2005
national elections were postponed into 2006.
When the presidential election was held in Feb., 2006, René Préval handily led
all other candidates (there were more than 30) but appeared to be falling short
of the majority required to avoid a runoff. The former president and his
supporters charged that there was electoral fraud, an accusation seemingly
supported by an unusually high number of blank ballots and by the discovery of
charred blank and Préval ballots in a dump near the capital.
Amid demonstrations and mounting tension, election officials agreed to assign
the blank ballots proportionally to the candidates, giving Préval nearly 51% of
the vote. Parliamentary elections were held at the same time, but the
investigation of electoral complaints delayed the second round into April, and
Préval was not sworn in until May. The following month Haiti was readmitted to
CARICOM.
Armed gangs remain a significant problem in
Haiti, and in Oct., 2006, the United States
partially lifted an arms embargo against Haiti so
that the government could buy weapons and other equipment for the Haitian
police. In Feb., 2007, the mandate of the UN peacekeepers was again extended;
the Security Council called on UN forces to move more strongly against Haiti's
criminal gangs.
Although UN forces had successes against a number of urban gangs, some
relocated to rural areas where they were less likely to be confronted by
peacekeepers. Rising food prices led to antigovernment and anti-UN protests
and riots in a number of Haitian cities in Apr., 2008; in Port-au-Prince rioters
attempted to storm the presidenital palace.
The riots led the Senate to dismiss the prime minister; two nominees for the
post were subsequently rejected by Haiti's legislature before Michèle Pierre-
Louis was elected in July. A series of hurricanes during Aug.–Sept., 2008,
caused widespread devastation, especially in the area around Gonaïves; some
800 people died, and damage was estimated at $1 billion.
In Apr. and June, 2009, elections to fill 12 vacant
Senate seats that had originally be scheduled for 2007
were finally held; Préval's Lespwa party run a plurality, giving the party a
plurality in the Senate. Lavalas Family candidates were barred from running on
technical grounds, and the vote was marred by poor turnout and allegations of
fraud. By mid-2009 an increase in size in, and improvements in the training of,
the Haitian police force had significantly reduced crime. In Oct., 2009, the
Senate voted to remove Prime Minister Pierre-Louis; Jean-Max Bellerive, an
economist and former planning and external cooperation minister, succeeded
her.
An earthquake in Jan., 2010, the strongest to hit Haiti
in more than 200 years, caused extensive destruction
in the capital and other parts of S Haiti. Estimates of the dead
ranged from as low as 46,000 to more than 310,000; some 300,000 were injured,
and an estimated 1.5 million people lost their homes. The destruction of much
of the limited infrastructure in the area made the massive relief efforts
mounted by foreign nations and international aid groups difficult.
The United States and the United Nations, both with forces in the thousands,
led the effort, and attempted to facilitate aid distribution and help maintain
order.
The United Nations subsequently estimated that $11.5 billion in aid would be
needed over the next decade for reconstruction efforts. International donors
pledged more than $5 billion in reconstruction aid in Mar., 2010, to the Interim
Haiti Recovery Commission, but the promised aid was slow in coming.
As late as Oct., 2011, the United Nations estimated that only half of the rubble
from the earthquake had been removed. More than 145,000 remained
homeless four years after the earthquake.
A cholera epidemic that began in N Haiti in Oct.,
2010, had affected some 600,000 Haitians and killed more than 7,500 people
by late 2012 and spread to the neighboring Dominican Republic; the source
was traced to some of the UN peacekeepers. The epidemic also contributed to
the disorganization of the first round of the earthquake-delayed presidential
election in November.
Preliminary results from that vote, released in
December, showed that former first lady Mirlande
Manigat and ruling party candidate Jude Celestin had
placed first and second, the latter narrowly beating popular singer
Michel Martelly. Most candidates accused the government of fraud, and there
were violent street protests. A final determination of the top vote-getters was
delayed into early 2011, and the election's second round, scheduled for Jan.,
2011, was postponed.
A review of the election by the OAS and CARICOM
was delivered to Préval in Jan., 2011; it recommended
that, based on its verification of the poll, the runoff
should be between Manigat and Martelly. The electoral
council ultimately decided that they would be the candidates in March, and
Martelly won the runoff with two thirds of the vote. In the legislative elections,
the preliminary results in 18 races were reversed by the election commission
when the final results were published, with the changes overwhelmingly
favoring Préval's party.
Meanwhile, in February, Préval's expiring term was
officially extended until May; former president Aristide
returned to Haiti from exile in March. In office Martelly
struggled to get a prime minister approved by lawmakers. Ultimately his third
choice for the office, Garry Conille, was approved in October, but he resigned
in Feb., 2012, citing a lack of support. In May, Laurent Lamothe, the foreign
minister, was confirmed as Conille's successor.
disagreements with Haitian legislators, Préval
declared that their terms had expired, and he
began ruling by decree. Parliamentary elections were finally
held in May–June, 2000. They gave Aristide's Lavalas Family party an
overwhelming majority in both houses, but the method of counting the votes,
in which only those won by the four leading candidates were tallied and
candidates thus did not need to win an actual absolute majority, was widely
criticized.
In Nov., 2000, Aristide was again elected president,
winning nearly 92% of the votes cast, but turnout for the
election was light. The following year Amnesty International said that human
rights and the rule of law had diminished in Haiti, citing harassment of
opposition politicians and attacks on journalists. There was an apparent coup
attempt against Aristide in Dec., 2001, although it was unclear who was behind
it. The political stalemate with the opposition led to the freezing of foreign aid
and ongoing economic hardship in Haiti.
Violence between supporters and opponents of the president increased in
2003, and several of Aristide's cabinet ministers resigned bu the end of the
year. Parliamentary elections failed to be held, resulting in the dissolution of
parliament in Jan., 2004, leaving Aristide to rule by decree and sparking
recurring anti-Aristide opposition demonstrations in the streets. In February an
armed uprising began in Gonaïves, and by the end of the month armed rebels
consisting of disaffected gangs formerly allied with the government, former
soldiers, paramilitaries, and police, and others, were on the verge of entering
the capital.
Under pressure from the United States and France, Aristide resigned and went
into exile, subsequently accusing U.S. and French officials variously of duping,
coercing, or kidnapping him. U.S., French, Canadian, and Chilean forces arrived
to maintain order, and an interim government headed by Gérard Latortue, a
former foreign minister, was established.
The Caribbean Community, however, refused to
recognize Prime Minister Latortue, and called for a UN
investigation into Aristide's resignation. Subsequently, CARICOM decided not
to readmit Haiti until after the reestablishment of a democratically elected
government. In April Latortue announced that general elections for a new
government would be held in 2005, but they were subsequently postponed
several times during 2005 due to inadequate preparation. A UN peacekeeping
force led by Brazil began replacing U.S., Canadian, and French forces in June,
2004.
Flooding from heavy rains in May killed some 1,700 in
the south near the Dominican Republic, and in
September Tropical Storm Jeanne caused additional
deadly flooding, especially in the area around
Gonaïves, where some 2,500 died. The September flooding also caused
significant agricultural damage. Unrest and lawlessness on the part of Aristide
supporters and opponents continued to be a problem in the country, despite
the presence of foreign peacekeepers. In Nov., 2005, the much delayed 2005
national elections were postponed into 2006.
When the presidential election was held in Feb., 2006, René Préval handily led
all other candidates (there were more than 30) but appeared to be falling short
of the majority required to avoid a runoff. The former president and his
supporters charged that there was electoral fraud, an accusation seemingly
supported by an unusually high number of blank ballots and by the discovery of
charred blank and Préval ballots in a dump near the capital.
Amid demonstrations and mounting tension, election officials agreed to assign
the blank ballots proportionally to the candidates, giving Préval nearly 51% of
the vote. Parliamentary elections were held at the same time, but the
investigation of electoral complaints delayed the second round into April, and
Préval was not sworn in until May. The following month Haiti was readmitted to
CARICOM.
Armed gangs remain a significant problem in
Haiti, and in Oct., 2006, the United States
partially lifted an arms embargo against Haiti so
that the government could buy weapons and other equipment for the Haitian
police. In Feb., 2007, the mandate of the UN peacekeepers was again extended;
the Security Council called on UN forces to move more strongly against Haiti's
criminal gangs.
Although UN forces had successes against a number of urban gangs, some
relocated to rural areas where they were less likely to be confronted by
peacekeepers. Rising food prices led to antigovernment and anti-UN protests
and riots in a number of Haitian cities in Apr., 2008; in Port-au-Prince rioters
attempted to storm the presidenital palace.
The riots led the Senate to dismiss the prime minister; two nominees for the
post were subsequently rejected by Haiti's legislature before Michèle Pierre-
Louis was elected in July. A series of hurricanes during Aug.–Sept., 2008,
caused widespread devastation, especially in the area around Gonaïves; some
800 people died, and damage was estimated at $1 billion.
In Apr. and June, 2009, elections to fill 12 vacant
Senate seats that had originally be scheduled for 2007
were finally held; Préval's Lespwa party run a plurality, giving the party a
plurality in the Senate. Lavalas Family candidates were barred from running on
technical grounds, and the vote was marred by poor turnout and allegations of
fraud. By mid-2009 an increase in size in, and improvements in the training of,
the Haitian police force had significantly reduced crime. In Oct., 2009, the
Senate voted to remove Prime Minister Pierre-Louis; Jean-Max Bellerive, an
economist and former planning and external cooperation minister, succeeded
her.
An earthquake in Jan., 2010, the strongest to hit Haiti
in more than 200 years, caused extensive destruction
in the capital and other parts of S Haiti. Estimates of the dead
ranged from as low as 46,000 to more than 310,000; some 300,000 were injured,
and an estimated 1.5 million people lost their homes. The destruction of much
of the limited infrastructure in the area made the massive relief efforts
mounted by foreign nations and international aid groups difficult.
The United States and the United Nations, both with forces in the thousands,
led the effort, and attempted to facilitate aid distribution and help maintain
order.
The United Nations subsequently estimated that $11.5 billion in aid would be
needed over the next decade for reconstruction efforts. International donors
pledged more than $5 billion in reconstruction aid in Mar., 2010, to the Interim
Haiti Recovery Commission, but the promised aid was slow in coming.
As late as Oct., 2011, the United Nations estimated that only half of the rubble
from the earthquake had been removed. More than 145,000 remained
homeless four years after the earthquake.
A cholera epidemic that began in N Haiti in Oct.,
2010, had affected some 600,000 Haitians and killed more than 7,500 people
by late 2012 and spread to the neighboring Dominican Republic; the source
was traced to some of the UN peacekeepers. The epidemic also contributed to
the disorganization of the first round of the earthquake-delayed presidential
election in November.
Preliminary results from that vote, released in
December, showed that former first lady Mirlande
Manigat and ruling party candidate Jude Celestin had
placed first and second, the latter narrowly beating popular singer
Michel Martelly. Most candidates accused the government of fraud, and there
were violent street protests. A final determination of the top vote-getters was
delayed into early 2011, and the election's second round, scheduled for Jan.,
2011, was postponed.
A review of the election by the OAS and CARICOM
was delivered to Préval in Jan., 2011; it recommended
that, based on its verification of the poll, the runoff
should be between Manigat and Martelly. The electoral
council ultimately decided that they would be the candidates in March, and
Martelly won the runoff with two thirds of the vote. In the legislative elections,
the preliminary results in 18 races were reversed by the election commission
when the final results were published, with the changes overwhelmingly
favoring Préval's party.
Meanwhile, in February, Préval's expiring term was
officially extended until May; former president Aristide
returned to Haiti from exile in March. In office Martelly
struggled to get a prime minister approved by lawmakers. Ultimately his third
choice for the office, Garry Conille, was approved in October, but he resigned
in Feb., 2012, citing a lack of support. In May, Laurent Lamothe, the foreign
minister, was confirmed as Conille's successor.
