St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Denzil Douglas told local journalists at a press conference Tuesday that "as a result of not subscribing to the way by which there was a change in government in Haiti, it is going to be extremely difficult for us to sit in any of the Councils of the Caribbean Community with the interim government that has been put in place in Haiti."
...[Douglas] suggested that unless Latortue were to come and denounce what he said earlier in terms of breaking off Haiti's relationship with Caricom and the way by which he recalled his own Ambassador from Jamaica, "it would be very difficult for us to even receive him to discuss the question of Haiti."

...[Douglas] suggested that unless Latortue were to come and denounce what he said earlier in terms of breaking off Haiti's relationship with Caricom and the way by which he recalled his own Ambassador from Jamaica, "it would be very difficult for us to even receive him to discuss the question of Haiti."
Both the Caribbean Community and African nations have called for an investigation into the "removal" of Hait's president Aristide. Latortue, who asked to be included in the Caricom meetings, shouldn't expect much until that has been resolved.
Latortue's chance of being given an informal audience by Caricom leaders, without recognition of the regime in Haiti, was dashed by his surprising embrace last weekend at a political rally in his hometown of Gonaives of armed rebels as "liberators" and "freedom fighters" in ousting President Jean-Bertrand Aristide from power on February 29.
