Yes, a coup that the CIA backed opposition started. Some of the same people who ran that coup are now running this coup.

Many of the men leading the armed insurrection in Haiti right now are well known to veteran Haiti observers and, for that matter, the US intelligence agencies that worked closely with the paramilitary death squads which terrorized Haiti in the early 1990s. People like Louis Jodel Chamblain, the former number 2 man in FRAPH, Guy Philippe, a former police chief who was trained by US Special forces in Ecuador and Jean Tatun, another leader of FRAPH.

It is not like this is unprecedented guys... I could give you many examples, even a more recent example. These covert operations often have tragic consequences for both us and the countries involved and should not be taken lightly.
