PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti | Charismatic pop star-turned-president Michel Martelly took over Haiti on Saturday, promising to rebuild its earthquake-devastated capital and develop the long-neglected countryside. Martelly was sworn in during a power outage in front of dignitaries including former U.S. President Bill Clinton, the U.N.'s special envoy to Haiti, and Edmond Mulet, head of the U.N. mission in Haiti. - The Associated Press
The death toll estimate in Haiti's January earthquake has risen to nearly 300,000. Another 300,000 Haitians suffered crippling injuries. About 1.5 million were left homeless - and nearly all of them remain huddled in tents, dependent on food relief for survival. About 300 dump trucks remove rubble daily - but engineers say it would require 1,000 trucks four years to clear the debris. In the history of humanity, one has never seen a natural disaster of this dimension," U.N. recovery chief Edmond Mulet said.
UNITED NATIONS - The Haitian government will be seeking about $3.8 billion at a donors conference this week to start rebuilding the country after January's devastating earthquake. Edmond Mulet, the top U.N. official in Haiti, on Monday urged donor nations to respond generously so that the Western hemisphere's poorest nation can reconstruct hospitals, schools, government buildings, roads and ports.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Haiti's government and U.N. peacekeepers will launch a major campaign seeking to persuade hundreds of gangsters to disarm with promises of money, food and job training, but top gang leaders will not be eligible, the U.N. envoy said Monday. In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, special U.N. envoy Edmond Mulet said officials would begin airing radio and television ads in coming days to inform the public about the disarmament plan.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Haitians scarred by decades of poverty, political corruption and natural disasters cast ballots Sunday for president in hopes a new leader could do what others have not: Replace homes and schools in the earthquake-devastated capital, improve education and create some optimism for the future. Voters chose between Michel "Sweet Micky" Martelly, a popular musician who has never held public office, and Mirlande Manigat, a former first lady and senator and longtime fixture on the political scene. Voters formed what for the most part were orderly lines throughout the country, some shrugging off delays of three hours. Preliminary results are expected March 31.
