United States’ role in recent events
by
Jean-Pierre Cloutier
Published in Haiti Times, February 20, 1986.
“Although it has been denied by United States officials, both in Port-au-Prince and in Washington, it is clear that the U.S. government had a lot to say in former President Jean-Claude Duvalier's departure. Jamaica and France both had supporting roles in the sequence of events, but the United States was the main actor.”

C-141 Passenger List
“When former President Jean-Claude Duvalier flew away on the United States Air Force C-141 jet in the night of February 7, he was accompanied by 20 other persons. We have been able to obtain the list of passengers on the night flight. [Note: Initially published on February 20, 1986, in the Haiti Times. The confidential source could not at the time give an accurate identity of Capucine (no. 13). I later learned that Capucine was a young Haitian homeless girl that had been taken into the Duvalier household by Michèlle Bennet.]
