As this picture illustrates here, it seems that Former Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide is making Judge Lamarre Belizaire having a double vision. Others will say that he is obsessed with the Haitian Leader.

Within the past two Months, the Judge has issued a total of 5 Court Orders in an attempt to bring the Lavalas leader to Court to respond to some heavy accusations against him. However, all these Court Orders have not been able to be executed

Finally, I would recommend the Judge himself carry his orders by going to the home of Jean Bertrand Aristide and take him to jail

This picture illustrate the situation most Haitians find themselves when the price of fuel price increases. This includes any petroleum product.

Will Haitian Government Risk Adjusting Fuel Prices?

Beginning in January 2010 Haiti stopped adjusting fuel prices fearing economic instability. Instead it subsidized fuel increases.

Haiti is increasing its deficit by selling fuel to the Dominican Republican (DR) at 20% per gallon less than what the DR pays for its own fuel.

The government of Haiti cannot continue to let the deficit climb, but it is reluctant to adjust fuel prices because it will cause social unrest and rouse the opposition.

Opposition Outrageous Demands Preclude Meeting

The Patriotic Movement of the Democratic Opposition (MOPOD) is refusing to sit down with President Martelly and work out issues concerning the Provisional Electoral Council and early general elections. MOPOD wants an increasing political agenda to be acceded to before it will hold discussions, or it will ask for Martelly's resignation.

MOPOD is mobilizing nationally to force the Martelly-Lamothe government to meet its demands, or else it will ask Martelly to leave the country. Opposition G6 Senators however are open to a dialogue with Martelly.
