Abstract

For a short period in 1994, the international community directed its attention toward Haiti. This was during the period which preceded the decision of the United States to intervene and topple the sitting military regime and reinstate the legal president of the country, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Thereafter, the interest has gradually diminished, not least in the United States. President Clinton hardly wants another Somalia on his back, and the year 1996 in addition was election year. Fidel Castro is hardly in the situation where he will risk any foreign policy adventures. Hence, American assistance to Haiti is being reduced. The country is no longer interesting for the big neighbor in the north.
