Sobaka News Wire: Haiti: Rogues' Gallery: President-for-Life for President Duvalier has been taking a conspicuous interest in Haiti since the overthrow of Aristide- the first time he's shown any interest in the country of his birth since he used it as a piggy bank in the 1970s and '80s. Neither has Duvalier lived in Haiti for the last five years - which, unlike the reason used to bar Jean-Juste from running, is a restriction which is actually enshrined in the Haitian constitution.

Duvalier formed the group to serve in the national defense, but in reality, the macoutes functioned primarily as an internal security force. www.maykuth.com /Archives/haiti86.htm   (1194 words)
