Lavalas activists in Bel-Air
appeal to the Bush administration
to change its policy toward Haiti

Port-au-Prince, January 24, 2005 (AHP)- The Lavalas activists of Bel-Air asked the Bush administration Monday to change its policy toward Haiti with a view to creating conditions favorable to a genuine national dialogue.

A spokesperson for these organizations, Samba Boukman, considered that any true national dialogue must include the participation of President Jean Bertrand Aristide.

According to Samba Boukman, it is a disgrace that the people of a country located so close to the world's greatest power are living as they are in filth and such sub-human misery.

He asked the people of the West department to remain mobilized in order to pressure those they call "the enemies of change" to meet the demands of the populist masses.
