Chaos continue in Haiti, Aristide vows to come back
Just stirring the pot ...

HAVANA, March 5 (Xinhuanet) -- Supporters of Haiti's exiled president Jean-Bertrand
Aristide ransacked a container port in Port-au-Prince late Thursday as United States and
French patrols try to enforce an overnight curfew in the Haitian capital that hasbeen in
anarchy for more than five days.

Reports reaching here quoted an official of the huge Haiti Terminal, which handles 35
percent of the country's container imports, as calling the looting a "disaster."

"We have to act quickly to save what's left of the containers before the catastrophe is
total," Georges Romain said.

The port's warehouses, holding an estimated 1,500 to 2,000 containers, were the main
target as of late Thursday.
