MINUSTAH spokespeople claimed that the raid targeted a base of illegally armed rebels led by Dread Wilme . Reports from pro- Lavalas sources, as well as journalists such as Kevin Pina , contend that the raid targeted civilians and was an attempt to destroy the popular support for Haiti 's exiled former leader, Jean-Bertrand Aristide , before scheduled upcoming elections. MINUSTAH has also been accused by opponents of standing by and allowing the Haitian National Police to commit atrocities and massacres against Lavalas supporters and Haitian citizens opposed to the current occupation.
