 As an observer of haitian politics I will state that Manigat is a  student 
of Duvalier(Papa Doc).He tried to use the same tactics used by Duvalier,  
become President in a rigged election by the army and then get rid of the  
general.Duvalier got rid of Kébreau so Manigat tried to get rid of  
Namphy.Duvalier 
succeeded because in the lower ranks of the army at the  time he had strong 
loyalists (i.e. Merceron, Beauvoir etc.) Manigat tried to  make a deal with 
Jean-Claude Paul who was indicted for drug trafficking in the  U.S.,an 
alliance of 
convenience and that failed.Manigat in 1988 had all the  intentions to act as 
a 
disciple of Duvalier.
A few years ago, I sent a speech made by Manigat to my step mother and she  
commented to me that Manigat sounds like Papa Doc.Weeks later in a 
conversation 
 with someone else I related her comments,and that person told me of course 
she  is right Manigat was Papa Doc's speechwriter in his early years.That 
person to  add if anyone would research Papa Doc's book if I am not mistaken" 
les 
oeuvres  essentiels" and looked at some Duvalier's speeches,they will see the  
similarities with Manigat's.
 
If Manigat is a friend of your family, I suggest you asked him those  
questions and let us know the answers.

So much for Politics Manigat style, it is time for Haiti to move  on.
