Aristide Op Ed.

What’s remarkable about the statement former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide issued from exile this week is the benign self-image it tries to convey. Aristide, who has been living in South Africa since being forced out of Haiti during his second presidency in 2004, says he wants to come home to “contribute to serving my Haitian sisters and brothers as a simple citizen in the field of education.” So, he’s really just “Father Titid,” folks, the kindly former Roman Catholic priest.

Last week, former Haitian President Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier returned to Haiti, ending his 25-year exile after a 1986 popular uprising had ousted the notoriously corrupt ruler. As the still deeply troubled Haiti lurches toward a presidential election, Duvalier is seeking a return to power, which everyone agrees is the last thing that Haiti needs. Within two days of arriving in Port-au-Prince, he was officially charged with embezzlement and corruption. Here’s what reporters and Haiti-watchers are saying about Duvalier’s return, his ambitions, and what it means.
