HAITI BRIEFING
Number 31 December 1998
Old tricks, new dog
It is common knowledge that the United States uses covert operations and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to destabilize and even overthrow progressive governments, and to subvert democratic political movements throughout the Americas and beyond. Guatemala in 1954, Cuba in 1961, Chile in 1973, and Nicaragua during the 1980s, are just some of the better known examples.
The use of violence and repression is though only one strategy utilised to enhance US interests in Latin America and the Caribbean. In a recent interview with Haiti Briefing , Ben Dupuy, a spokesperson for the National Popular Assembly, drew attention to other techniques pioneered in Nicaragua and now being used in Haiti. After pointing to the similarities between the US-organised Contra in Nicaragua, and the FRAPH in Haiti, and the use of both to create a debilitating sense of insecurity, Dupuy compared the US-led process of building opposition party coalitions in both countries:
"In Nicaragua it took the form of uniting the extreme right and former Somocistas in a coalition of reactionary forces that won the election in 1990. I think they are trying to implement the same strategy in Haiti by creating a kind of platform of different organisations that include the party of the Duvalierist, Roger Lafontant, who staged an unsuccessful coup against Aristide in January 1991. It (the coalition) will put forward candidates in forthcoming elections, but I think they will have trouble finding a presidential candidate like Chamorro."
