Neither President Thabo Mbeki nor armed South African troops were welcome in Haiti, a Haitian civil society grouping, Groupe 184, said on Wednesday.
"Two hundred years ago these brave men proved to the world that a tiny black state could indeed be a sovereign nation worthy of their own independence. They set an example that other nations throughout the world later followed," the statement said.
"This oppressive government that had promised Haitians prosperity and peace has instead perverted the country through violence, drug trafficking, and abject poverty - this is the same government that President Thabo Mbeki is supporting with his presence in Haiti," the statement said.
