UN Officials Back US Kidnapping Of Elected Leader!
The United Nations has said it was "very clear" that former Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide had resigned and had not been forced into exile by a coup d'etat.
"For us it is very clear he resigned," UN spokeswoman Marie Heuze told reporters.
"We have no problem, he resigned."
Mr Aristide had said in a telephone interview with CNN from the Central African Republic that he was overthrown in a coup, for which he blamed the United States.
Ms Heuze said the Haitian constitution had been respected with the swearing in of Boniface Alexandre, head of the court of cassation, as interim president.
