Jean-Bertrand Aristide has fled Haiti. It's not clear where he will go, nobody seems to want him. The following was mentioned toward the end of the article:
President Bill Clinton sent 20,000 troops to restore Aristide [in 1994] but insisted he respect a constitutional term limit and step down in 1995.Hmmm. Unilateral military action to install a failed leader who didn't even respect American wishes. And I was getting ready to blame the Haitian crisis on Bush's "go-it-alone foreign policy".

Those elections were marred by a low turnout and an opposition boycott.
He wanted to go to NYC, but then he found out that NYC doesn't allow one the freedom to smoke.
