They will report on the response of the Haitian grassroots to:

- the victory of the Aristides’ return, despite US opposition, after seven long years of campaigning that cost many lives;

- the recent fraudulent elections foisted on them by the US;

- the NGOs which have received millions in public donations while 1.5 million earthquake victims continue to live in tent cities often without food or water.
