Riot Alert: Haiti;Wyclef for President

Haiti is one of the poorest countries if not the poorest county in the world is back in the news. Political turmoil has been part of the status quo since the 50's, but not until recently has this tipping point finally been reached due to the rising cost of living and a food shortage. Rene Preval, the raining emperor/president of Haiti decided to stand up and make a statement for his country.

"To those who are stirring up violence, I order you to stop because it is not going to solve the problem," Rene Preval

Way to be proactive Captain Obvious. Riots rarely stop any problem, but they are the voice of the forgotten. It is obvious that the people in HAITI need HOPE and food. In a country with the land size that is smaller land size than Maryland and a population of 8 million plus. Captain obvious needs a better plan then telling the people of the great country to stop. BBC reports on his address to citizens earlier today.

Food prices, which have risen 40 percent on average globally since mid-2007, are causing unrest around the world. But they pose a particular threat to democracy in Haiti, where most people live on less than US$2 (euro1.27) a day.

Preval acknowledged that in his address, saying Haiti's predicament comes partly from its dependence on imported rice that has weakened national production.

But it was unclear whether the address would appease the rioters, who are demanding Preval's resignation for failing for tame the rising prices. (AP)

In a country with no major exports and not enough natural resources or agricultural resources to provide adequate food for the population. What in the hell are you doing, if the people and Haiti are starving.

I hope I am wrong but this might be another coup d'etat to add to Haiti's volatile yet rich history.
Wyclef for President, he isnt elected and he cares. Vote for Haiti's favorite Son.
