Andrea Schmidt is an anti-imperialist activist and journalist based in
Montreal. She is currently in Haiti with a small delegation of other
Canadian independent journalists to look at the role that Canada has been
playing since the Coup d'Etat against Jean-Bertrand Aristide of February
29, 2004.

Schmidt spoke to us on a cell phone in Cite Soley, a poor suburb of
Port-au-Prince. September 30th marked the 14 year anniversary of the first
USA-led coup against Aristide in 1991. This September 30th was the first
time in those 14 years that a demonstration hasn't been held to mark that
event. In fact, the PNH (Haitian National Police) have imposed a temporary
ban on demonstrations.
