In Haiti, 50 members of the Marine’s Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team arrived in Port Au Prince Monday to secure the U.S. embassy. Opponents of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide are threatening to attack the capital within a week. On the political front, Aristide has agreed to U.S.-brokered power sharing agreement that would allow him to stay in power while forcing him to accept a new prime minister. According to the Miami Herald, opponents seemed on the brink of rejecting the deal and were set to demand that Aristide step down. Under pressure from Secretary of State Colin Powell, the opposition agreed to wait 24 hours to review the agreement. The Miami Herald also reports that the rebellion against Aristide could continue even if political opponents back a power-sharing agreement. This is because the armed gangs who have taken control of much of northern Haiti are not closely aligned with the organized political opposition except in their hatred for Aristide. Meanwhile in Cap Haitien, Haiti’s second largest city, armed gangs consolidated their grip on the city by conducting house to house searches of supporters of Aristide.
