Children of Cite Soleil swim at Hotel Montana

Today thousands of Haitians took over the Hotel Montana, where the rich, journalists, UN officials, and foreigners congregate near Haiti's capitol.  

Today, after officials within the CEP criticized
other officials for vote tampering  and two
demonstrators were killed (one reportedly by Jordanian force of MINUSTAH),  the Haitian masses from Bel Air, Cite
Soleil, Delmas, and other neighborhoods marched
on Hotel Montana.  UN troops landed by helicopter
on the Hotel's roof.  

Haitian's are demanding the vote be respected, while continued allegations circulate of elite/government officials tampering with the vote counting, to keep Preval from winning in the first round.
