		In addition, without wishing to prejudge those nominated, who may perform their tasks in an admirable fashion, the Haiti Support Group notes a preponderance of individuals with close ties with international organisations.

		The armed forces, led by General Herard Abraham, are playing a role unique in Haiti's violent history: defenders of democracy.

		The presence of 1,500 observers from the OAS, the UN, and other agencies, clearly identified by their blue-and-white uniforms at the polling places, made General Abraham's promise to avoid the horrifying election-day massacre of three years ago comparatively easy to fulfill.

		Unlike Hérard Abraham (and the comparison is going to drive him nuts), General Avril wasn't just a guy that found himself in the wrong uniform at the wrong time.
		As one of the few military men close to dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, Avril embodies an unbroken line of continuity from Haiti's darkest days in the past to her present turmoil.

		THE FOREIGN Minister of the United States-established interim government in Haiti, Herard Abraham, has come knocking on the doors of some Caribbean Community administrations with the message that he is on a mission to counter a "campaign of disinformation" and win support for his country's return to the councils of Caricom.
		Before leaving Port-au-Prince earlier in the week, Abraham should have known that not only did he have a very hard row to hoe in securing that level of support.
