Bill Clinton Will be Named UN Special Envoy to Haiti

Bill Clinton will be named the United Nation’s special envoy to Haiti this week, Foreign Policy reports. Clinton’s popularity in the deeply impoverished nation remains high from his presidential tenure, when he intervened to restore Jean-Bertrand Aristide to the presidency after his 1994 ouster. The announcement, expected tomorrow, follows Hillary Clinton’s recent pledge of $57 million in US aid for Haiti. (More Bill Clinton stories.)
