‘Baby Doc’ wants to stay put
NZPA-Reuter Talloires, France Jean-Claude Duvalier and his family are frustrating French efforts to get rid of him, resisting asylum in Liberia, the one country reported willing to take them. Sources close to the Duvalier entourage and their lawyer said the former President-for-llfe of Haiti had made no request for exile in Liberia and had no intention of moving to the West African country. The French Prime Minister, Mr Laurent Fabius, said yesterday he had started moves to ask Liberia to take in France’s unwanted and acutely embarrassing guest. The Duvalier family have been holed up in a luxury hotel in Talloires since fleeing Haiti on Friday. At least six African and European nations have ruled out asylum. A source close to Mr Duvalier’s family said they were pressing for exile in either France or the United States.
