Authorities in the Central African Republic on Sunday read a statement from exiled Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide saying he's being "well-looked after" and will personally address reporters at an unspecified and "opportune time."
| "Check back later. Much later." |
Central African Republic Foreign Minister Charles Wenezoui read the statement he attributed to Aristide from a small card handed to him by Aristide's wife, Mildred, in front of the press. Aristide's wife looked on tight-lipped as the short statement was read, but did not speak to reporters. Aristide was not present. "Dear journalists, at the opportune time, I will have the possibility ... to reply to your questions," Wenezoui said, reading the two-line statement from the card. "We are very well looked after," the statement said. When reporters asked Mildred Aristide if her husband was healthy, she nodded. Asked if the couple were prisoners, she sighed.
