(AFP) – 2 hours ago
PORT-AU-PRINCE — Haiti’s key national elections are “going well” with little violence and only a few minor administrative problems that should not hamper turnout, chief UN peacekeeper Edmond Mulet said Sunday.
“In general everything is going well, everything is peaceful,” Mulet, the head of the UN peacekeeping mission MINUSTAH which is helping to police the elections, told AFP.
Mulet: “I see a great passion of citizens and from citizens for democracy in this country. MINUSTAH is here. There is no reason to be frightened. It’s an electoral celebration,” Mulet said.
“The decision of the people will be respected. There are some small administrative problems, but no big problem that is going to reduce participation.”
“It is very important that Haiti gets a legitimate government to carry out the (quake) reconstruction, especially here in Leogane which was 90 percent destroyed” by January’s devastating earthquake, he said.
Mulet said there had been some “minor incidents” in the northern city of Desdunes.
The mayor there, Wesner Archelus, a member of an opposition party, described a hostage-taking incident which left several people injured and caused him to take refuge in a police station.
“There was shooting all night. Clashes erupted in a voting station where an election monitor from the ruling party was briefly taken hostage,” he told AFP.
More than 4.7 millions Haitians are voting in Sunday’s national elections to choose a successor to President Rene Preval and elect more than 100 lawmakers around the country.
Campaigning was marred by deadly incidents of violence between rival political factions.

COMMENT: HAITIAN-TRUTH.ORG
This piece of garbage was released at 11:00 local time, even as mobs demonstrated. Polling stations were blocked from 0600 hours. “A few minor administrative problems….” Jesus H. Christ! The entire electoral process is in complete and total chaos
Even as this was released, all of the major opposition candidates were meeting in the Caraibe Hotel to discuss withdrawal from the process. As of this moment, they have all withdrawn and Mulet describes this as a minot administrative problem.
He is a liar on a major scale.
Mulet should resign immediately!!!
Granderson should be thrown out of the country – IMMEDIATELY!!! And should be declared Persona non Grata forever.
Heads should roll.
People have died, will die because of the International Community’s ongoing behavior.
Oh dear God! Is there no end to the misery of Haitians? May God have mercy on all of us in Haiti.
Mullet does not want the US taxpayers to pressure Washington to ask him for a refund. By the way where is his side kick Mr Imminent domain. Who wants to take the people land in Port au Prince for
his business venture.
I think that people of Haiti wiil be very happy so on.The time will come for God to act in their favor. Keep faith in Him and in Him only.
None is with ypu, people.They are all against you.However,they will be down for ever at last.They are diging their own holes to be buried. Enough is enough.
Put aside the political attachment,ideology,appatemance,personal filing,color,social level,education level,but one thing,Come back to the beginning, and stand strong to fight the enemies.
It is clear that,the situation in Haiti is very dangerous for you.They want your destrucyion not your wellbeing.They think that Haitians are nothing, so they can do whatsoever they want with them. But, I am telling you that, you have a chance to chande radically this situation.
Do not cooperate anymore with them. They are devils.
They are racists, they are criminals.
It is time to start a real revolution in Haiti. Forget everything thing. This moment is time to sacrifice yourselves for the benefits of your future.Please, be ready to change the world.
Do not under estimate what you can accomplish through what you are doing for the rest of the humanity. The world is behind you. They are watching on you. If you miss to fulfill the work, then, you write your condamnation for ever.
You can not stop.Share what you have among you.Support each others.You will be very very very happy at the end.They are shaking,they have fear, big fear.We are almost at the end of the tunnel.Keep up the good fight and God will reward you very, very, very so on.
I know what I am talking about. I can not more clear than that.
Pawol pale, pawol konprann.Bouch manje tout manje, li pa di tout pawol.
Kenbe fem, pa lage, Bondye avek nou.

Mulet is not qualified to guve his opinion on Haiti;. elections , he is not a Haitian. it’s hight time these people stop poking their noses into Haitian affairs. Mulet and the whole Minusta should leave Haiti immediatly. All the do is enjoy my country the beaches and our women. we have no need for then, thay only protect Preval, who by the way should have been in jail together with all the inite.

Mesi Bondye paske w pemet anpil Ayisyen kapab asimile presenp souverente nasyonal la san foskote. Apre m fin tande entevansyon Mesye Jeanty william nan sou radyo karayib maten an, mwen pran kouraj, mwen rayalize ke travay motivasyon psikolojik pou diyite pep Ayisyen an pa anven.
Mesi radyo karayib ki pemet mwen jwenn bakop sa a.Mesi mesye Jeanty Wlliam pou konpreyansyon ak bon lide pou mete ansanm tout moun ki pa deside vann nanm yo pou dola kokayin-kidnaping Minustah-Preval-Bellerive- Alexis- Boulos e latriye ki konprann ke yo se bondye toupisan ki otorize pou yo fe sa yo vle avek devni pep Ayisyen an jodi.
Mwen pral mete m disponib pi plis pou nou kapab rive reprann souverente peyi a menm jan zanset nou te deside bay pwop vi yo pou ban nou endepandans peyi a.
Nou pap pran nan kraponnay pesonn. Mete tet nou anplas pou nou pa prann nan okenn pyej ak presyon ajan kolon moden yo.
Just one phone call from the self appointed Haitian Governor Bill Clinton, all this scandalous spectacle will stop. Don’t you see who is the Head of the Snake. The U.S. taxpayers should ask Washington for a refund. One more reason to Change the Land Scape in November 2012.
Apa tout konsiderasyon ke nou oblije fe pou nou fe respekte dwa nou antanke pep, nou vle raple pou listwa ke nou te prevni tout moun pou yo pa t patisipe nan aktivite elektoral pou asire livrezon peyi a bay achte yo.
Nou sanse responsab jodi adeske nou pa t eksplike pep la pou ki rezon ke se achte yo ki t ap depanse kob yo pou yo fose tout moun pou mete ansanm pou livre machandiz la ke yo te achte depi byen lontan nan men dirijan nou yo.Le nou bay vot nou nan eleksyon an, se amen nou di, ki vle di, nou dako sanpousan avek vant alankan peyi a avek tout moun ladanl.
Se poutet sa ke solda Minustah ak PNH resevwa pou touye tout moun k ap manifeste oubyen ki pa dako.Pa bliye ke pami nou genyen anpil moun ki deja resevwa lajan lavant pa yo sou tet nasyon an.Ki donk, nou dwe mode dwet nou paske nou pa t pran konsey.
Genyen anpil moun tou ki te fe anpil efo pou motive nou sou reyalite sa a.Tout kandida yo koupab. Yo vann dwa yo, souverente peyi pou finansman kapay elektoral, menmsi yo pedi.
Ala yon Souflet papa!
Sa k pired la, seke, peyi a pral tounen yon pwovens Ladominikani.
Solda domoniken yo pral fe nou mache sou tet. Pa p gen okenn prezidan ann Ayiti vre. Se tyoul otorite dominiken y ap ye.Eske nou pa sonje vizit etamajo lame dominiken an nan pale nasyonal?
Eske nou pa we ke se an dominikani ke PNH ap resevwa lod? Eske nou pa we ke se an domonikani ke kamyon bilten vot yo soti?
