Гаити: президент сбежал – восстание закончилось (Feb 29 2004 21:06 GMT) - Лидер повстанцев на Гаити заявил, что, поскольку президент Жан-Бертран Аристид покинул страну, сражаться они больше не будут. “Если мы войдем в Порт-о-Пренс (столицу), это будет сделано для восстановления безопасности, однако мы больше не намерены вести борьбу”, – сказал в интервью CNN бывший глава полиции Гай Филипп, который присоединился к мятежу вскоре после его начала. Филипп также отметил, что он приветствует решение президента США Джорджа Буша отправить на Гаити морских пехотинцев. Бунт продолжался целый месяц. Повстанцы требовали отставки президента страны, обвиняя его в коррупции и нарушениях прав человека. |
