Mark Toner, a spokesman for the U.S. State Department has asked this Monday to former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, to postpone of a few days his return to Haiti "We would urge former President Aristide to delay his return until after the electoral process has concluded [...] To return this week could only be seen as a conscious choice to impact Haiti's elections" has advised Mark Toner.

Toner said the United States was also urging the South African government to urge Aristide to delay his return until after the election.

Washington has "asked" to the South African Government to make the same request to former President Aristide....

Diplomatically speaking... the USA clearly putting pressure on the Pretoria government...
