Groups who once supported the president of Haiti, René Préval, are arming themselves against the government, putting the earthquake-ravaged country in danger of renewed instability and political violence.
Anger and resentment are growing against both the Haitian government and the international community. The anger is being driven by the widespread perception – three months after the catastrophe – that the billions in aid and reconstruction money coming into Haiti is benefiting the country's more articulate and wealthy minority, while not reaching the vast mass of victims of the quake.
