HAITI-UN-PEACEKEEPERS
A Brazilian UN peacekeeper runs past empty used coffins as other members of his unit cover him in the Drouillard cemetary in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti 04 February, 2006. The Brazilians conducted an operation as part of an effort to flush out gangs that have terrorized the capital for months. There are currently some 9,500 military and police troops in the UN Stabilization Force in Haiti (MINUSTAH). The new MINUSTAH commander said 01 February that the UN forces must take control of the sprawling, gang-infested slum of Cite Soleil which borders Cite Militaire. The UN troops have struggled to restore order to the impoverished and violence-wracked Caribbean country since then president Jean Bertrand Aristide resigned and fled two years ago. Minustah is being deployed around the country to provide security for the 07 February elections. AFP PHOTO/Roberto SCHMIDT
