Two men who attended meetings with Sanon called him a thoughtful politician with a genuine interest in improving the country. CNN has been unable to contact Sanon or others arrested since the assassination. The group was operating under the assumption that Haiti's President would eventually resign as protests in the country mounted, ushering in the interim government, Duverger said. Earlier this year, Sanon changed his plan and allegedly told the group that he wanted to become Haiti's president instead of the prime minister, according to Duverger. There are indications that the support for Sanon described on the website and in the letter may have been exaggerated.
