I remember something in online news about unrest there about Aristide. He was bad news from the beginning and our government was involved in making sure he got to power. We may regret that if these guys are leftists. Haiti is one of the most miserable and poorest places on earth, so they are ripe for any change that looks promising. We keep turning back people trying to get to the USA on rafts etc. Aristide is a Marxist. I do remember hearing years ago about a coup in Haiti and how US troops reseated Aristide by force, something we're gonna regret when he's overthrown since we don't have any troops to spare to calm the place down. Could you please post the UTC time and frequency ? I'd like to try to listen myself . Thanks My usual sources are Radio Exterior de Espana and Radio Netherlands. Spain usually has more news about the Americas. They are on at 0000 on 6055-their only English tx to NAm. RN's website is rnw.nl, so look there for freqs and times. "REE" was referring to Spain. "tommyknocker" wrote in message ... I heard last night (on SW) that rebels have "captured" the city of Gonaives, Haiti's fourth largest (and the place where Haiti's independence was declared 200 years ago). REE said that the rebels were close to taking control of Cap Haitien (sp?), Haiti's second largest city, as well. It looks like Aristide is going down. Has anybody heard anything more today? (I haven't been near my radio yet today.) |
