Just What They Need

As political unrest grows in Haiti, the United Nations warns of an impending humanitarian crisis and dozens of people are killed, there is some good news for Jean Bertrand Aristide: "Global Market Solutions, which is based in Washington, DC, is rallying to the side of [the] beleaguered Haitian president." The PR firm "has promoted Aristide's willingness to talk with the rebels and commitment to democracy." Robert Maguire, Director of International Affairs & Haiti Programs at Trinity College, says "the underlying cause [of the recent violence] is both economic and political." Amnesty International called on "all actors, whether in government, opposition parties or in armed groups... to halt the breakdown in the rule of law."
