Bhms: Haitians demonstrate for Aristide

A group of about 100 Haitians demonstrated outside the Metropolitan Church of the Nazerene on East Street South and Bahama Avenue Sunday, demanding the return of Jean-Bertrand Aristide as president of that country.

The passionate group, singing songs while carrying Haitian flags and placards with the face of Aristide, said they have been silent for too long and are now showing the world that the majority of Haitians in The Bahamas support the former president and want him reinstated.
...
"Yes it would be effective demonstrating here because there are a lot of Haitians here... they are used to Aristide and Aristide is the only person who can really deliver the Haitians from what we're going through," she said.

She indicated that it does not matter that the former president was in power for ten full years, after being reinstated by U.S.-led forces in 1994.
What are they doing in the Bahamas if they're so convinced that Aristide is the only one who can help Haiti?
