Haitian Caribbean News Network, a pro Government news site has reported that Former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide has been placed under house arrest. Also from the same source, the residence of former Haitian leader located in Tabarre will now be guarded by agents of the prison administration (APENA). Also, based on the last order issued by Judge Lamarre Belizaire, the perimeter of the residence will be under the control of the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police (DCPJ ).

Haitian Caribbean News Network also reported that from now on, only Judge Lamarre Belizaire could authorize anyone to visit Jean-Bertrand Aristide, in his residence in Tabarre.

Pawol Pale, Pawol Komprann!

Mezanmi, me sa ke mwin tande: Non selman ke Jean Bertrand Aristide pa ka pati kite peyi-a, konyè-a, li pa kapab kite lakay li non plis. Sa ponko fini. Li paka recevwa moun lakay li non plis si Jij Lamarre Belizaire pa aprouve.

Se yon sel ti problem mwin jinyin ak tout sa se sous koze yo. Koze sa soti nan sit web Haitian-Caribbean News Network ki ape dirije pa Guyler C. Delva. Anpil moun di ke Guy ape travay pou Gouvenman-an

Around every bend in Cap-Haitian, the past speaks and city historians are eager to share its lore.

On Rue 19 lived Joseph Laroche, who drowned when the Titanic sank, the one Black person aboard the ship.

Rue 18 was where Antenor Firmin began his life, rising to prominence as the initial Haitian anthropologist in the Americas.

Rue 13 produced Oswald Durand, a poet and songwriter, who wrote "Yellow Bird".

European royalty has also resided in Cap-Haitian, another part of its intriguing past.

The Haitian government finally has decided to make a headcount of all its citizens. It will soon proceed in the distribution of 2 million birth certificate forms to allow all Haitian citizens without a birth certificate to obtain one. The government will provide this service free of charge. This was made possible, thanks to a Presidential Decree made to address the problem of Haitians without a Birth Certificate in the country

Mezanmi, sanble bagay fo laj prale fini an Ayiti.

Afè lè ke yo mande ou laj ou pou kommance konte kombyen rekot kafe ou te ouè, Gouvenman Ayisyen-a vle mete yon prin final nan sa. Trè byentom Gouvenman sa aprale fè distribisyon 2 milyon fòm batistè. Fòm sa yo aprale pèmèt tout sitwayen san batistè jwenn batistè vit epi gratis.

Se yon Dekrè ke Prezidan Michel Martelly passe. Ministè a raple ke anba dekrè sa a, nenpòt moun ki pa janm te gen yon batistè, gen yon peryòd de senk (5) ane pou yo jwein batistè.

Bagay sa kapab rezoud problem
