Hti: Jamaica living in the fast lane

James Foley, the United States’ ambassador to Haiti, said on Saturday that "Jamaican authorities are certainly taking on a risk and a responsibility" by accepting Mr Aristide. Jamaican officials say he will stay only eight to ten weeks while he finds permanent asylum. That has proved elusive since many countries appear reluctant to shoulder the diplomatic fallout from Mr Aristide’s charges that the US forced him from power.

The allegation has had his militant supporters venting their resentment on US troops leading a multinational peacekeeping force that arrived in Haiti the day Mr Aristide left.

This seems to provide some slight confirmation that Aristide was forced to leave Bangui because he will not keep his mouth shut on his false claims that he was kidnapped.

Let's see how long before Aristide ticks off Patterson. it didn't take him too long to get on the wrong side of the folks in Bangui. Patterson will have to learn that those who don't hear will feel.

Read Aristide's story about how he was duped into leaving Haiti. Aristide's logic goes like this: Foley told Aristide to leave to avoid a bloodbath. He left. There was no bloodbath.. Therefore, Foley duped him.

Aristide's supporters rounded up.
