In a letter to to Secretary of State John Kerry, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, said fear that a dangerous situation may be developing after the withdrawal of the officers responsible for the safety of former President Aristide and asked him to intervene immediately to prevent a dangerous confrontation between President Aristide's supporters and the police.

"The Honorable John Kerry

Secretary of State

Department of State

2201 C Street, NW, Room 7226

Washington, DC 20520

Dear Secretary Kerry:

I am extremely concerned about the situation in Haiti.

I have been informed that orders were given to lift all of the officers from the police unit that was providing security at the home of President Aristide, and all of the police left the vicinity this morning at about 1:00 am. That leaves President Aristide and his family totally exposed.

I am deeply concerned that there is an effort to illegally arrest President Arislide. Given the fact that President Aristide's supporters have gathered around his house in recent days in an effort to show their support for him, one can reasonably expect that they will surround his house in order to prevent his arrest. No one should want a confrontation between President Aristide's supporters and the police. I fear that a dangerous situation may be developing that could lead to a loss of life and further political instability in Haiti.

Please intervene immediately to avoid an unnecessary and dangerous confrontation and ensure that chaos does not ensue in Haiti.

Maxine Waters

Member of Congress

Also we learn that this Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2014, Senators of the opposition former members of the Fanmi Lavalas political organization, politicians with Lavalas allegiance, members of MOPOD and representatives of people's organizations, are determined, as a sign of solidarity, to visit President Aristide, at his residence in Tabarre, without asking permission to the Judge Lamarre Bélizaire.
