Haiti could devolve into civil war, says ex-leader

From Canada dot com..  Excerpts:

PORT-AU-PRINCE - The crisis gripping cholera-ridden Haiti in the wake of disputed elections and a debilitating earthquake could devolve into civil war, the nation's former interim leader said Tuesday.

Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council promised a recount of the November 28 election ballots after official results set off charges of fraud and rioting by angry supporters of a losing candidate.

"This electoral process, at this current stage, could lead to civil war. We will all be both responsible for this situation and its victims," warned Boniface Alexandre, who ruled as interim president from 2004 to 2006.

"I have a suggestion: all of the parties — those in power and the opposition — have something in common, and that's Haiti. We must find a solution,"

The world has forgotten Haiti.  If the current situation continues devolving, though, the country will be back in the headlines.  And, although the blossoming cholera epidemic is terrible, the "sensational video" from Haiti's upcoming, inevitable civil war will be the world's media re-introduction to Haiti in its Top 20 bid for World's Worst Godforsaken HellholeAlthough it might be the worst country in the Western Hemisphere(maybe it's Bolivia..),  it isn't the worst in the world.. 

It's a testament how horrible and shitty other countries are, as Haiti really should be as bad as it gets..
