LA PAZ, Bolivia — President Evo Morales said Wednesday that Bolivia would seek U.N. condemnation of what he called the U.S. military occupation of earthquake-stricken Haiti.
“The United States cannot use a natural disaster to militarily occupy Haiti,” he said and implied that the militarized U.S. humanitarian mission could lead to bloodshed.
His criticism echoed that of a fellow leftist, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who said Sunday that “it appears the gringos are militarily occupying Haiti.”
U.N. General Assembly spokesman Jean Viktor Nkolo pointed to previous U.N. statements expressing gratitude for U.S. help in Haiti.
