This news from Haiti. The Pentagon announced Wednesday an expansion of the US mission in Haiti to allow U.S. Marines to start using armed force in an effort to restore order after a coup ousted President Jean Bertrand Aristide. According to the Pentagon, U.S. forces have shot and killed four Haitians over the past week. Meanwhile former Haitian foreign minister Gerard Latortue returned to Haiti from Florida to become the country’s interim prime minister. Latortue fled Haiti in 1988 after a military coup. Also yesterday Aristide met with South Africa’s deputy foreign affairs minister, Aziz Pahad about seeking asylum in that country.
