HAITI-UN-PEACEKEEPERS
A Brazilian UN peacekeeper checks the interior of a car as he looks for weapons in a check point in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, 18 January, 2006. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has named Brazilian General Jose Elito Carvalho Siqueira to head the UN force in Haiti, after his predecessor committed suicide, officials here said. Nine soldiers in the UN force, four of them Jordanians, have been killed since MINUSTAH was deployed in June 2004, four months after President Jean Bertrand Aristide fled a popular uprising. On top of increasing violence, uncertainty in the poorest nation in the Americas has mounted as the long-awaited election to find a replacement for Aristide has been postponed four times.
