on Wednesday, July 9, 2003. The neighborhood is one of the worst slums which make up the
greater Port-au-Prince area in Haiti. It is rated 150th of 175 countries on the United
Nations Development Program's 'Human Development Index' released Tuesday and calculated
using life expectancy, poverty and education statistics. Once again, Haiti's position
slipped, this time from 146 to 150, and it is the only Latin American or Caribbean nation
among the bottom 53 (Nicaragua is 121st), and the only non-African country in the UNDP's
'lowest human development' category. Life expectancy is 49 years and only about half of
all children attend school. (AP Photo/Daniel Morel) |

Cite Soleil, Haiti, Saturday july 12, 2003. Hundreds of the groups' members drove to the
Aristide stronghold of Cite Soleil, where the groups were to call for the government to
disarm criminal gangs, arrest perpetrators of political violence and take more steps to
guarantee security and press freedom. Aristide partisans first threw rocks at the passing
vehicles. Six Haitian journalists were injured and some 30 other people reported being
slightly injured, including businessman Andy Apaid, Jr., chief spokesman for the groups.
