Brazilian Foreign Minister Antonio Patriota Friday shrugged off Wikileaks revelations about his country's commander of the UN peacekeeping force in Haiti,saying Brazil is more concerned about the rebuilding of the quake -devastated Caribbean nation.
"Brazil's concern is about how to contribute to rebuild the country (Haiti) one year after the earthquake happened, and not about information from the past that leaks," Patriota's spokesman,
Tova da Silva Nunes, told Brazil's official news agency.
Local media reported on Friday that there was a suggestion from the U.S. government back in 2005 that Brazilian Gen. Augusto Heleno Ribeiro Pereira be replaced as commander of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH).
According to cables obtained by Wikileaks, the Brazilian general was not managing to control violence by gangs in the country.
On Jan. 12, 2010, Haiti was hit by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake with its epicenter in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital, killing more than
222,500 people.
