PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI — Twice-ousted Haitian leader Jean-Bertrand Aristide made a rare public appearance Monday at a street rally to support the presidential candidate of the po- litical movement he founded decades ago.

Several thousand backers of the Fanmi Lavalas party chanted and sang as they walked alongside a campaign convoy in Petionville, a hillside dis- trict where some of Haiti’s wealthiest citizens live. Aristide and Lavalas candidate Maryse Narcisse waved from the sunroof of a car.

Some marchers said the rally was intended to demonstrate to Haiti’s small economic elite the Haitian presidential candidate Marysse Narcisse, takes a campaign drive with former president Jean Bertrand Aristide in support Lavalas still has among members of the in Port-au-Prince, Aug. 29, 2016. | Photo: AFP impoverished majority, particularly the urban poor.

NORTH MIAMI (Le Floridien) – Gonaïves, championne en titre du championnat amateur de football Madame Gougousse Haïti Cup, est logiquement parvenue à atteindre la finale de la première édition de “Super 8 Cup”, une ex- tension de ‘Haiti Cup,’ après avoir mis KO en demi-finale l’équipe de Delray sur le score min- imal de 1 but à 0.

De son côté, l’équipe du Violette entrainée par Billy Salvador a dû attendre la séance des tirs au but pour se défaire de l’équipe Okap (5-4), à l’issue des 90 minutes du temps réglementaire terminé sur le score vierge, zéro but partout.

La compétition observera une petite pause le weekend prochain avant la grande finale prévue pour le dimanche le 11 septembre. Elle sera disputée entre Violette et Gonaïves. Delray et Okap s’affronteront en levée de rideau pour la troisième place.
