Page "History of Haiti" Paragraph 87

The 1988 elections led to Professor Leslie Manigat becoming President, but three months later he too was ousted by the military.

Further instability ensued, with several massacres, including the St Jean Bosco massacre in which the church of Jean-Bertrand Aristide was attacked and burned down.

During this period, the Haitian National Intelligence Service ( SIN ), which had been set up and financed in the 80s by the Central Intelligence Agency as part of the war on drugs, participated in drug trafficking and political violence.
