New Documents Reportedly Link CIA Veteran to 2004 Haiti Coup
from Sputnik News:
In 2002 a brazen jailbreak involving a bulldozer freed 155 prisoners, including notorious gang leader Amiot “Cubain” Metayer, in Gonaive, Haiti. The event weakened the national government and led to a violent military coup two years later, ousting the democratically elected President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

The documents appear to show that a CIA veteran met with coup plotters and disloyal police officers the day before the Gonaive jailbreak. Janice L. Elmore was officially working as a State Department “political officer” at the Embassy in Port-au-Prince.
According to the documents, the Dominican ambassador said that Aristide, then president, saw an embassy vehicle in Gonaive, where embassy officials were told not to travel. Aristide reportedly told the Dominican ambassador that Elmore was meeting with police officers close to Dany Toussaint, who was later involved in the coup. The Dominican ambassador reportedly also said that Elmore had contacts with other “questionable individuals” including Hugues Paris, who was described as “a Haitian with ties to coup plotters here,” by the document. He has also been linked to funding the FLRN death squad, according to The Gray Zone.
