Haiti's continuing problems

We were talking in class today about Haiti's status as a marginalized power because of its internal problems. This article talks about how one of the rebel groups that opposed Aristide is refusing to disarm. They say they are using their arms to counter a rise in gang violence, but the very existence of a paramilitary group with the power that the "Front for National Resistance" has is a sign of the continuing weakness of the national government and the police.
