STATEMENT BY PRIME MINISTER OF JAMAICA AND CHAIRMAN OF CARICOM, THE MOST HONOURABLE P. J. PATTERSON ON THE SITUATION IN HAITI, 29 FEBRUARY 2004, KINGSTON, JAMAICA
President Aristide has submitted his resignation as the President of Haiti and has left the country for an undisclosed destination. We are bound to question whether his resignation was truly voluntary, as it comes after the capture of sections of Haiti by armed insurgents and the failure of the International Community to provide the requisite support, despite the appeals of CARICOM.
