...military--the insurgents are undeterred. Front spokesman Winter Etienne says the group has men situated in two other key cities, Cap-Haitien and St. Marc. "We plan to take control of the north by the end of the month. Then we'll create the recipe to liberate Port-au-Prince...
...Front, though, that has the arms to face Aristide's police. Still, St. Marc, one of the Front's next targets, is well protected. The entrance to the town is blocked by armed guards from Port-au-Prince's special security unit. Members of the pro-government organization Clean Sweep walk freely around St. Marc with Uzis and revolvers. After a recent uprising in the city was quashed, locals say, Clean Sweep militiamen--called chimeres, Creole for mythical monsters--went after opposition leaders.

...Padgett: Although Aristide's failure to deliver on any of his promises has prompted even many of the poorest Haitians to abandon the man they once affectionately called "Titid," he still has a lot of support in the capital, Port au Prince. There's some question about how much of this is legitimate support and how much is expressed by armed groups in the pay of the government. But it's pretty clear that when and if the rebels advance on the capital, it's going to get ugly. It won't be nearly as easy for them as capturing...
