		However paddy production in the department of Artibonite, which represents about 80 per cent of national output, is expected to continue the downward trend started at the beginning of the 1990s with reduction in area planted and yields mainly due to drainage problems and lack of maintenance of the irrigation infrastructure.
		The international community continues delivering food aid to the communities that were affected by flooding in May (the district of Mapou in South-Est department) and in September (the city of Gonaïves in the Artibonite department) and to the drought-prone department of North-West.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: 2004 Haiti rebellion
		The 2004 Haiti Rebellion was a war that was fought for several weeks in February 2004 and ended in the ouster of the President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, whose second term in office was clouded by conflict regarding the nature of his election and administration.
		The 2004 Haiti rebellion was a conflict fought for several weeks in Haiti during February 2004 that resulted in the premature end of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide's second term, and the installment of an interim government led by Gerard Latortue.
		According to the rebels and the civilian opposition, the rebellion is a natural consequence of what they consider Aristide's poor governance and the alleged rigging of the 2000 elections by his Lavalas Family party.

		A random-sampled nutrition survey, conducted in the commune of Belladère, Centre department, showed a nutrition situation that was not critical: 4.8% (3.1-7.4) of the children were acutely malnourished, including 0.8% (0.2-2.2) severely malnourished (ACF-F, 08/04).

		In view of that situation, the Wisdom Committee concluded that all the sectors of the population interested in the success of the Transition must work together to reach a consensus, at least about two essential aspects: the causes of insecurity and the actions to be taken against it.
