Fanmi Lavalas is a populist political party in Haiti under the leadership of former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
Fanmi Lavalas has been a powerful force in Haitian politics since 1991.
Fanmi Lavalas was formed in late 1996 when Aristide broke from the OPL (Organisation du peuple en lutte) over what he called its "distance from the people" and created a new political party, the Fanmi Lavalas.
