Guy Phillipe Now Backs ex-Haiti President Aristide

Guy Phillipe, the same rebel leader who helped overthrow Haiti president Aristide in 2004 was spotted in a pro-Aristide rally thursday saying "If they arrest him [Aristide], all Haitians should take to the streets."

Guy Phillipe

The associated Press reports...

"Fugitive rebel Guy Philippe made a rare public appearance Thursday and urged Haitians to seize the streets if foreigners try to arrest the president he helped topple eight years ago, Jean-Bertrand Aristide."

Guy phillipe told the Associated Press that Haitians should defend Aristide if outsiders, meaning The United States, move into Haiti to arrest Aristide.

What is that all about?

There is a rumor in Haiti that Aristide is wanted and the United States is coming to arrest him. Both the US government and Haitian officials say it is not true.

Unlike Aristide, The Associated Press says, Philippe is an actual fugitive who is wanted on a U.S. indictment charging him with drug offenses.

Question?

Why do you think Guy Philippe is suddenly siding with Aristide?
