Poloff delivered reftel demarche on March 19 to the Director
of Political Affairs, Weiner Jean Baptiste. As an observer
member of the African Union, Jean Baptiste said that Haiti
will wait for, and follow, the AU's guidance. He expressed
disgust and disappointment with Zimbabwean President Mugabe's
conduct. The text of Secretary Rice's statement prompted
Jean Baptiste to comment that South African President Thabo
Mbeki's "discrete negotiations" were likely to have a
stronger impact than any public statement from the West.
