Haiti's new prime minister forms Cabinet; official says pro-Aristide names are missing

(03-16) 17:28 PST PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) --

Haiti's new prime minister formed a unity government Tuesday, filling 13 Cabinet positions but excluding supporters of ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

Aides to Interim Prime Minister Gerard Latortue circulated a list of names for the Cabinet after Latortue met with Interim President Boniface Alexandre at the National Palace. The Cabinet is to be sworn in Wednesday, aides to Latortue said.

Leslie Voltaire, a former Aristide Cabinet member, said no members of the former president's Lavalas Party had been chosen.

Aristide's former prime minister, Yvon Neptune, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview earlier Tuesday that ignoring Lavalas, which commands a formidable following, would lead to more trouble.

_______________

the unity "government" selected by the U.S. installed dictator, LaTorture. Despite his statements that he wanted to bring unity, he didn't name even one member of the majority Lavalas Party, the party headed by Aristide. Aristide of Lavalas got 91.8 percent of the vote
in the last presidential election in Nov 2000, but LaTorture ignored them.

1. Just like the Code Red secret bunker US government formed by Cheney

There were no consultations, and no Dems.

Haiti is a practice run.


Move along, nothing to see here.
