16. Indeed we should remember the 2004 Haiti Coup

The 2004 Haiti Coup was executed by CIA trained paramilitary and by and later US, Canadian and French troops occupied Haiti.

The following story does not constitute a copyright violation, since I wrote it and placed it under GPL.

Preparations

On May 2003, a group of at least 20 paramilitary soldiers—trained and funded by the US — cross into Haiti from the neighboring Dominican Republic and attack a hydroelectric power plant on Haiti's central plateau. Shortly after the attack, Dominican authorities, arrest five men, including Guy Philippe <1>and Paul Arcelin, who they believe are plotting the overthrow of Jean-Bertrand Aristide's government.

Also at this time, there is a US build-up along the Dominican border, where “900 US soldiers patrol jointly with the Dominican army, whom they have armed with 20,000 M16s.” Ben Dupuy, general secretary of the left-wing party PPN, tells the left-wing Haiti Progres, “There is no doubt these guys are true terrorists working with the CIA under Dominican protection.” <2>

Operation

Beginning in Gonaïves with the capture of that city's police station on February 5, the rebellion quickly spread to the nearby port city of Saint-Marc. <3>. Rebels take over cities in northern Haiti and move towards Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, overrunning Aristide's local police forces and vowing to overthrow President Jean-Bertrand Aristide <4>

Barbara Lee writes a letter to Colin Powell accusing the United States of intentionally subverting democracy in Haiti:

“I must say, Mr. Secretary, that our failure to support the democratic process and help restore order looks like a covert effort to help overthrow a government. There is a violent coup d’etat in the making, and it appears that the United States is aiding and abetting the attempt to violently topple the Aristide Government.”

http://www.house.gov/lee/releases/04Feb11.htm

On Feb 28, 2004 Jean-Bertrand Aristide informs Jamaican Prime Minister P.J. Patterson that he does not plan to resign <5>. The security of Aristide is provided by the Steele Foundation. US officials delay a small group of additional bodyguards from the Steele Foundation on their way to Haiti. <6>

Kidnapping

On February 29, 2004 Aristide was kidnapped by U.S. soldiers escorted on a US-charted to Dominican Republic and then to the Central African Republic. <7>

Colin Powell called the allegations absolutely baseless, absurd. Absolutely false, Luis Moreno, the U.S. Embassy official in Haiti who accompanied Aristide to the airport Sunday, told The Herald. <8>. Luis Moreno came to Aristide's Palace to pick him up at 4 AM and Artistide knew why he was there. <9>According to Joseph Pierre, a concierge at Aristide's residence, whose account is reported in the French newspaper Libération, Aristide is taken away early Sunday morning by US soldiers. <10>

U.S. Invasion

On March 1, 2004, US President George W. Bush announces that the US is sending US forces to Haiti to help stabilize the country. <11>

CARICOM governments denounced the "removal" of Mr. Aristide from government. They also questioned the legality of subsequent American-backed maneouvers to install a new president. The Prime Minister of Jamaica, P.J. Patterson said that, the episode "sets a dangerous precedent for democratically elected governments anywhere and everywhere, as it promotes the removal of duly elected persons from office by the power of rebel forces." <12>

As of April 2004, the United States, France, Canada and Chile have troops in Haiti as part of a force sanctioned by the United Nations.
