Attack
Continued from page 1
and wait for the right time.
There were no independent eye witness reports
of rebel movement, but there appeared to be very
few fighter in Cap-Haitien, where hundreds had
been seen Wednesday. Cap-Haitien is just 90
miles north of Port-au-Prince, but is a seven-hour
drive over potholed roads sometimes reduced to
bedrock.
Scouts were checking “pockets of resistance,”
he said. That might include the government-held
town of St. Marc, on the main road from Gonaives
to Port-au-Prince.
On Wednesday night, rebel commander Winter
Etienne and others crowded around a map of Haiti
on the wall of the Mont Joli Hotel, discussing the
best route to take and whether to use boats to get
around St. Marc.
“It won’t take a lot of days. We don’t have all
our lives to wait for what a dictator is going to
do,” Philippe said Thursday.
A government official said Aristide’s National
Palace was defended by about 100 officers in
Haiti’s force of fewer than 4,000. Philippe has
boasted he now commands 5,000 men.
Philippe said Wednesday he was going to give
Aristide a chance to step down. On Saturday,
Aristide agreed to a U.S.-backed plan to share
power, but the opposition rejected it, saying he
must step down.
“We saw there was no hope for peace,”
Philippe said. “We spent a week waiting for this
peace to come. We can’t stay waiting for him to
decide while his people are killing people. Every
day, innocent people are being killed, houses are
being burned.”
Concerned about the increasing chaos. France
called for Aristide’s resignation, saying “he bears
grave responsibility for the current situation.”
“It’s up to him to accept the consequences
while respecting the rule of law,” Foreign Minister
Dominique de Villepin said in a statement.
French diplomatic officials confirmed
Thursday that de Villepin was calling for Aristide
to resign.
Abel Descollines, a member of the opposition
Democratic Platform coalition, praised France's
statement and asked the United States and Canada
to do the same.
“We hope American and Canadian authorities
will rally behind the French position to help Haiti
avoid a civil war,” he told French RTF radio.
Angelou
Continued from page 1
Jeff Stumpo, a graduate stu
dent in English and founder/
host of Javashock, A&M’s slam
poetry club, said he feels that
other graduate students in
English are excited about
Angelou’s trip to A&M.
“It’s nice to have someone
(on campus) who is a big name,”
Stumpo said.
Stumpo describes Angelou’s
poetry as “strong” and “narra
tive,” but also contextually sig
nificant.
“What I think is fascinating
about (Angelou) is that not only
is she a good writer, but she’s
important contextually,” Stumpo
said. “You’ll have some writers
that write good stuff and that’s
it,” Stumpo said. “Then you
have writers that are important
historically, but they’re not good
writers when it comes down to
it. But (Angelou) has both.”
Stumpo said that unlike this
year’s affirmative action bake-
sale put on by A&M’s Young
Conservatives of Texas and the
Faculty Committed to an
Inclusive Campus’ diversity
march, Angelou won’t create
controversy.
“(Angelou) seems like a rel
atively safe writer to bring (to
campus),” he said. “She has
important and smart things to
say, but she’s not going ta
make the campus explode with
controversy.”
Winn predicts a high turnout
from the University and the
Bryan-College Station area and
expects the 2,500 capacity audi
torium will be filled for the event.
“MSC Diversity wanted to
bring her (Angelou) in as a wrap
up (for) Black History Month,”
Winn said. “Just'to end with a
bang.”
