Baris 41:
In [[January 2004]], political violence between Aristide supporters and supporters of the opposition escalated sharply, and on [[February 5]], [[2004]], a rebel group calling itself the [[Revolutionary Artibonite Resistance Front]] (of which the Cannibal Army formed part) seized control of Haiti's fourth-largest city, [[Gonaïves]], marking the beginning of a [[2004 Haiti Rebellion|major revolt]] against Aristide. By [[February 22]], the rebels had captured Haiti's second-largest city, [[Cap-Haïtien]], and effectively split Haiti between a rebel-held north and a government-held south. The rebellion, led by former [[Cap-Haïtien]] police chief [[Guy Philippe]], has been referred to as a "military coup" by Aristide's lawyer, who claimed that the heavy weaponry used by the rebels were shipped in from the [[Dominican Republic]].[http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=04/02/25/1613200]
As the end of [[February 2004|February]] approached, rebels continued to advance to within miles of the capital, [[Port-au-Prince]]. -->

Pagi-pagi buta [[29 Februari]] [[2004]], setelah dikecam keras oleh pemerintah [[Prancis]] dan [[Amerika Serikat]], Aristide terbang dalam sebuah pesawat yang dikirim oleh AS ke [[Republik Afrika Tengah]]. Keadaan di sekitar penerbangan ini diperdebatkan.
: Aristide, yang menuduh [[Amerika Serikat]] dan [[Prancis]] bersekongkol untuk memaksanya melepaskan kekuasaannya, mengajukan tuntutan hukum di [[Paris]] minggu lalu, sambil menuduh pejabat-pejabat Prancis yang tidak disebut namanya melakukan "ancaman pembunuhan, penculikan dan pengasingan" sehubungan dengan penerbangannya ke Afrika..

<!--Both Maxine Waters and United States congressman [[Charles Rangel]][http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040301/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/us_haiti_20], who also reported talking to Aristide via cellular telephone, said that Aristide said he had not been handcuffed while being led away, while the Agence France Press reported that the caretaker at Aristide's house claimed that Aristide had been handcuffed and led away at gunpoint[http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ft/20040302/bs_ft/1077690805324]. Other reports of Aristide being led away by heavily armed American troops have been made by an Aristide bodyguard and an Orthodox missionary[http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/story.jsp?story=497303]. Aristide told [[CNN]] that there were unidentified civilian Americans and Haitians who had forced him to resign and board the plane leaving Haiti[http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20040302/ts_nm/haiti_aristide_kidnap_dc_9].
The United States vice-president [[Dick Cheney]] and Secretary of State [[Colin Powell]] both reported that Aristide had resigned willingly[http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20040302-024937-3556r.htm], [http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1078139090204&call_pageid=968332188492&col=968705899037]. The [[Associated Press]] reported that the Central African Republic tried to get Aristide to stop repeating his charges to the press[http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/world/20040302-1154-aristideexile.html]. Aristide has further alleged that the resignation statement that is being touted was altered to remove a conditional statement in which he stated, "'If I am obliged to leave in order to avoid bloodshed."[http://www.reuters.co.uk/printerFriendlyPopup.jhtml?type=worldNews&storyID=467806]; this was confirmed by a Reuters translation of Aristide's original statement, which matches up word for word except for the one line, in which the conditional has been removed. On [[14 March]] [[2004]], he left the [[Central African Republic]] for [[Jamaica]], to the dismay of the French and American governments, who felt that his presence in the area would have a destabilizing effect on Haiti. The American ambassador to Haiti, James Foley, issued a warning to Aristide to stay at least 150 miles away from Haiti at all times. [[Condoleezza Rice]] is reported to have said that she did not want him in the Western Hemisphere[http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/2004/200403/20040316.html] .
