Barricades made from rocks taken from a construction site block a street
in Gonaives, Haiti, early on Monday, September 29, 2003, as the city awoke to a seventh
day of burning barricades, shuttered businesses and a stand-off between police and the
'Cannibal Army,' a gang which formerly supported Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide
but now is vehemently anti-government. The 'Cannibal Army,' some of whose members are
armed, and the seaside slums of Raboteau and Jubilee have been in rebellion against the
government ever since the murder of strongman Amiot Metayer, last week. They blame
Metayer's murder on Aristide, a charge the government rejects. One man has been killed and
dozens injured, most by police bullets, since the protests began on September 23. (AP
