Upheaval in Haiti

Haiti's president Jean-Bertrand Aristide is struggling to hold on to a country on the brink of Civil War. Street thugs, both for and against the president, flood the streets of Haiti's Capital. Aristide was elected in 1990, toppled in a military coup nine months later, put back in power by U.S. troops in 1994 and served until 1996, when his term limit ended. He was re-elected for a five-year term in 2000. Anti-government militants are demanding his resignation but Aristide says he will not step down until his term ends. And the United States says it will not step in.
