Repression in Haiti Ties to Firmin Uprising and Refugee Pardons
Turmoil in Haiti under President Nord Alexis stems from General Antenor Firmin's insurrection and refugee sheltering in foreign consulates. U.S. agents seized 2000 rifles and 390.9 percent cartridges in New York, crippling the uprising as France and Germany refuse to surrender refugees. Reports from Berlin say U.S. settlement may satisfy all. General Frédérique accuses Alexis of a coup amid pardons. Soldiers patrol villages executing peaceful citizens, driving many into exile.
