2010 Haiti Elections

I know that many people who are emotionallly invested in Haiti have been following the news of the elections quite closelly.  I wish I could say that I have an insiders view of the goings on here in Haiti, but really I've been searching the internet and international news just like the rest of you.  I do have the slight advantage of listening to the radio here and hearing the "word on the street" reports.  However, this is often more frustrating than anything else.  Yesterday one radio station announced that there was going to be a big manifestation (riot) at noon.  We waited, as there's really nothing else to do, and noon came and went with no problems, at least in our area.  The 'word on the street' is often exaggerated and often causes unnecessary panic.
Yesterday the school was open and about 30-40 students came.  Today there are more.  As a staff we decided to keep the school open every day, we've instructed all staff and students that if there are problems in their area or on their route to school, stay home.  If everything is clear, come to school.  We hate to close school only to discover that there are no problems, we've lost too much time as it is.
If you are interested in reading an 'on the ground' account that is not terribly biased or overinflated, check out this blog.  I find it very interesting and it resonnates with what I've been seeing and hearing.  As well, the author is willing to go where things are happening, whereas I tent to avoid any place where things are happening.

We are waiting for the election results to be announced.  It sounds like regardless of the results, this announcement will cause some more unrest.  We'll just have to wait and see.
