Last night the election results were released. It was quiet here at our base just outside Port Au Prince. But inside the city it was different. Demonstrations abound. Today we are on lock down at our base because of the demonstrations. The cholera centers are the only projects we are running today. Much of our Haitian staff were unable to make it to work because the public transport workers are not working due to the protesting. The Haitian staff that did come into work today are glued to the radio.
We have some close friends here in Haiti (Ben and Alexis Depp) who have been following the elections and helped document and monitor the elections. They by far have the most info on the story behind the elections here in Haiti. Check out their post written by a journalist friend of theirs on the elections, it is unreal but true. Prayers needed.
