Gonaives Mayor Stephen Moise and burning tires that marks an intersection of nearly
abandoned streets in downtown Gonaives, Haiti, on Wednesday, October 29, 2003, as the city
began its sixth week under virtual seige. Several flaming tire barricades were set up
around the city, blocking all businesses, schools and public administration offices, by
the former pro-government gang 'the Cannibal Army' which is now called the 'Artibonite
Resistance Front' and which is demanding the resignation of President Jean-Bertrand
Aristide. The city has been shut down ever since the 'Army's' former leader, Amiot
Metayer, was found dead. At least 13 people have been killed and many, including two
police officers, injured in unrest since then. (AP Photo/Daniel Morel) |
