Haiti - Rocks Thrown At President Martelly From The Faculty Of Ethnology

Yesterday afternoon, news spread in Haiti that President Martelly survived another attempt. Rocks were thrown at the president and his entourage as he walked by the Faculty of Ethnology.

Already, there are two sides to the story... 

Here is an official statement from the office of communications of the President...

Aggression against the Presidential Procession

Port-au-Prince, Friday, February 17, 2012: The Office of Communication of the Presidency informs the general public and the press in particular that shortly after 3: 00 pm, this February 17, 2012, troublemakers refugees in the enclosure Faculty of Ethnology, attacked the motorcade of the President of the Republic who roamed the area of Champs de Mars, on foot, accompanied by carnival bands.

The presidential security team quickly took all the necessary measures to ensure, in accordance with the law, the safety of the President of Haiti and his motorcade who was able to return safe and sound back to the grounds of the Haiti National Palace.

The Presidency warns all manipulators who carry messages of incitement to violence that they are in violation of applicable laws.

The Presidency calls for calm and encourages all citizens to unite to work, while respecting the law and democratic principles, progress and stability of our common homeland.

According to Radio Vision 2000, this is the presidential version...

In an interview given to Vision 2000 last night, Lucien Jura, the communications director for the president, had to stop the interview and force the radio station journalist to retract his statement that President Michel Martelly entered the faculty in full force with armed men from his entourage to harm the students.

Another thing worth mentioning is that... the radio journalist didn't seem to care that the President of the Republic was in harms way; instead all he wanted was for the porte-parole to admit that Martelly entered the grounds of university in an attempt to harm the students, a statement which Lucien Jura flatly denied.

Which version have you heard?

What do you think about it?
