guy philippe

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agency (DEA) launched an unsuccessful military operation to capture the Haitian rebel Guy Philippe.

Guy Philippe, a one-time candidate for Haitian president and former rebel leader, has reportedly gone into hiding following a DEA military-style operation to arrest him at his home in Les Cayes, Haiti. It is said that two airplanes, five helicopters and as little as twelve DEA agents stormed the home, searching for Philippe, who fled his razor-wire-fenced and concrete-gated property. Members of his party have confirmed he is on the run, stating that they have contacted lawyers on his behalf and wish to take the matter up with the justice ministry.

Uniting the forces of the U.S. government, at that time the Bush administration, the elite class of Haiti, and worldwide republican institutions, The Convergence Démocratique, an amalgam of over 200 groups, worked to oppose the then President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. The group, led by a one-time Aristide supporter and former mayor of Port-au-Prince, Evans Paul, Andre Apaid, and Guy Philippe, would eventually get him out of power. In their campaign, they openly asked the U.S. to invade the country, get rid of the then president, and rebuild the army, which had been disbanded. The convergence was dissolved after they attained their feat following the coup that ousted Aristide.
