The unrest in Haiti during 1980s was a result of ineptitude of Jean-Claude Duvalier's government. Government's mishandling of economics and rampant corruption led to severe economic crisis and widespread poverty. The situation also worsened upon outbreak of AIDS and African Swine Flu. Health concerns severely affected tourism industry in Haiti and more economic misery for people. This led to wide spread riots and protests against the government and Duvalier had to flee from country to seek exile in France.

Did Mount St. Helens erupt with little warning?
The eruption of Mt. St. Helens on May 18, 1980 did give significant warning before the actual large eruption took place. There was a period of a month and a half of unrest before the flank collapse and lateral blast events took place. The unrest began being documented March 15, 1980, however it was not immediately recognized as possibly being a precursor to a volcanic event. The seismic events were first recognized as precursor activity on March 20th, 1980 with a magnitude 4.2 under the north flank of the volcano (Which also turned out to be the eruptive and failure point of the volcano on May 18). For further and detailed readings on the precursor events before the triggered eruption please see related links for the Cascade Volcanoes Observatory.

When did Jean-Bertrand Aristide become the dictator of haiti?
He was never a dictator, he was elected in open elections in 1991, after the previous hereditory dicatorship was overthrown by mass protests in the late 1980's. He served a 5 year term, and stepped down at the end of his elected term. In Haiti, you're allowed to run for election again, but not for consecutive terms, he ran again and was elected in 2001. Getting elected and following your countries constitutional rules about terms in office, is what separates an elected president from a dictator.
