South Africa is "concerned" about Haiti situation

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

South Africa is "concerned" about Haiti situation

The South African government has reiterated its concern about events in Haiti and the ousting of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, currently in the Central African Republic.

Briefing the media after Wednesday’s fortnightly Cabinet meeting, government communications and information system (GCIS) chief Joel Netshitenzhe said the government is seriously concerned at the manner in which Aristide was forced to resign, as it was effectively a coup d’etat.

It is further concerned about the danger that criminal gangsters and groups previously involved in gross human rights violations could install themselves as the government in Haiti, thus reversing the nascent democratic process in that country.

“Cabinet noted that the South African government was in consultation with Caricom and the AU [African Union] to make whatever contribution may be necessary to ensure that stability, democracy and legitimacy are restored in Haiti,” he said.

The issue of asylum for Aristide in South Africa has not arisen in the Cabinet, because no formal application for such sanctuary has been received.

If and when such an issue arises, South Africa will approach it in consultation with Caricom, the AU and the United Nations, taking into account South Africa’s own laws and interests, Netshitenzhe said. — Sapa
