Secretary General Kofi Annan said yesterday that the United Nations was looking at what it might do in Haiti, where a rebel uprising against President Jean Bertrand Aristide is gaining momentum.

"Of course, we are all very concerned about developments in Haiti and are reviewing what the UN can do to support the efforts that are being made to try and settle and pacify the situation on the ground," he said.

"We in the (UN) secretariat have been very busy thinking through what further measures we can take".

Aristide said yesterday that he was ready to die for his country, just like police who have been among those killed by armed insurgents seeking to oust him.

Rebels yesterday threatened to take over Haiti's second-largest city unless Aristide resigns.

More than 55 people have been killed in the uprising launched two weeks ago. – Sapa-AFP.
