US embassy cable - 04GUATEMALA2948

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Classified By: Ambassador John Hamilton for reasons 1.5 (b) & (d). 
 
(C) Polcouns delivered reftel demarche to Guatemalan Acting 
FM Marta Altolaguirre, who agreed wholeheartedly with U.S. 
assessment.  She said Guatemala's troop contribution to 
MINUSTAH was just one indicator of Guatemala's commitment to 
the "long-term efforts" that would be required of the 
international community in Haiti.  Altolaguirre volunteered 
that her personal view was that Aristide had been a 
"disaster" and could play no useful role in Haiti's future. 
She said she would forward to Guatemala's delegation to the 
Ibero-American Summit, already in San Jose, our concerns 
about Haiti and the need to express support for Latortue and 
the Interim Government of Haiti.
