| Haitian military general, Philippe Biamby, who also
said he made a "Democratic Correction" by sending brutal dictator
Aristide into disuse, succumbs to cancer, aged 56 |
| By Yves A. Isidor, wehaitians.com executive editor |
CAMBRIDGE, MA, Dec. 14 - Philippe Biamby, a Haitian Brigadier General who
fully participated in the apparently urged coup by a large number of Haitians
that sent Haiti's bloodthirsty, populist dictator, Jean-Bertrand-Aristide, into
exile, first in Venezuela, and ultimately the United States (where he learned
the virtues of capitalism, unfortunately for self-enrichment), the nation that
returned him to Haiti (it has a rocky history of coups and civil strife), with the help of more than 20,000 troops, to regain the
office of the presidency he lost in late September 1991, succumbed Saturday to
pancreatic cancer after a long
hospitalization in Panama City, where he found refuge immediately before the
return of Aristide to Haiti, but after U.S. troops commenced to disembark, in late 1994, only to be removed by force,
principally by the U.S., in early 2004, for again practizing grand scale dictatorship -
comparable only to that of Stalin.
