PREVAL ATTEMPTS THEFT OF ELECTION: 2300 hours, December 7, 2010 EVEN AS THE RESULTS WERE BEING READ BY AN ELECTORAL COUNCIL – CEP – FUNCTIONARY, MOBS OF ANGRY VOTERS ATTACKED FACILITIES, AROUND THE NATION. BURNING TIRES BLOCKED THE STREETS. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MIRLANDE MANIGAT AND MICHEL MARTELLY, ALL OPPOSITION CANDIDATES CALLED FOR THE RESPECT OF LAW-AND-ORDER. AMERICAN AND CANADIAN AMBASSADORS ISSUED IMMEDIATE STATEMENTS, CRITICISING PREVAL FOR REPORTING RESULTS THAT DID NOT COINCIDE WITH THOSE PRESENTED BY INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS. IT IS NOT AS THOUGH THEY DID NOT GIVE PREVAL SUFFICIENT WARNING, OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF HE TRIED TO STEAL ELECTIONS. BUT PREVAL IGNORED THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY AND ROLLED THE DICE. WE NOW REQUIRE PREVAL DEPARTURE, NEW CEP, NEW ELECTIONS. THERE SHOULD BE NO IMMUNITY, NO IMPUNITY FOR PREVAL. PREVAL, AND HIS CRIMINAL ASSOCIATES, MUST FACE JUSTICE OTHERWISE HAITI HAS NO FUTURE. |
