Canada to join international force in Haiti: Graham
Last Updated Sun, 29 Feb 2004 13:49:40

OTTAWA - Canada is ready to send troops to Haiti as part of an international force, Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham said Sunday.

Graham made the comment after the Haitian leader, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, fled the country earlier in the day.

The rebels have not yet moved into the capital, Port-au-Prince, and there are fears a power vacuum could lead to bloodshed.

Aristide left the country in 1991 and over the next three years of military rule, thousands of people were killed, freelance journalist Claude Adams told CBC Newsworld. "That could happen again."
