elections

Well - the voting stations have now been closed for a couple of hours and I haven't heard any news! There was report of an incident in Liancourt (about 15 mins away) where two voters got into a fight because they were backing different candidates - an innocent by-stander is now in hospital here in Deschapelles after taking a bullet because of the fight between the two voters (but neither of the people involved were hurt!!)

Here's praying that things calm down tomorrow and I (& Karen) will be allowed off the compound! I don't want to spend the last few days I have in Haiti being locked inside my own yard!!!
