At Desdunes in the north, after incidents and gunfire that resulted in injuries, Minustah has sent Sunday morning a half-dozen of armored vehicles "to regain control of the situation." Recall that this morning the head of the UN mission in Haiti (Minustah ), Edmond Mulet stated "In general everything goes well, all is quiet. There have been some incidents at Desdunes, minor incidents." Edmond Mulet said there is no reason to be afraid". "It's a electoral feast"... Une déclaration, qui devant les moyens utilisés pour rétablir l’ordre se passe de commentaire...
