1994-09-18: (Cédras Accepts a Departure Date to Avoid U.S. Military Invasion, a Delegation Led by Jimmy Carter Securing a Last-Minute Agreement as American Paratroopers Were Already Airborne): On September 18, 1994, a negotiating team led by former President Jimmy Carter secured a last-minute agreement from Cédras to resign and allow a peaceful entry of American forces, while U.S. paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division were literally airborne and en route to Haiti. The agreement was the final act of a diplomatic crisis that had begun with Aristide’s overthrow three years earlier. Clinton had authorized Operation Uphold Democracy, the use of military force to restore the elected president. Cédras resigned on October 10. He went into exile in Panama with a generous stipend from the United States, the coup leader rewarded for the crime of overthrowing a democratic government on the condition that he agree to stop committing it.
