Group Not Recognizing Haiti’s New Government
From Times Wire Reports
The 15-nation Caribbean Community, meeting in Basseterre, St. Kitts, has decided against recognizing Haiti’s new U.S.-backed government, senior officials said. They cited concerns over the manner in which ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide went into exile.
The Haitian government announced that it would block dozens of members of Aristide’s administration from leaving the country while it investigates crime allegations. And 2,000 tons of U.N. food aid arrived at Cap Haitien.
