Haiti - Aristide : Aristide "is headed back to Haiti"
Yesterday Saturday, the lawyer of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Ira Kurzban said that his client "is headed back to Haiti" adding that "we don't know when yet, but it will be before the elections" Kurzban wished to clarify that Aristide "has no interest in meddling or being involved in the election. He has no interest in being involved in politics".
According to his lawyer, Aristide is concerned about the perception created by his return to Haiti, few days before the election. However he is more worried, about the possibility of not being able to go back at all after the vote, if the new administration is not receptive to his return and revokes his visa [?], Kurzbana precised that Aristide "wants to go home. He's been in exile for seven years"...
The statements of Ira Kurzban seems to confirm the statements made Friday, on condition of anonymity by a South African official saying that "the former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide will return to Haiti in the coming days [...] Aristide will return to Haiti before the second round of elections set for March 20".
And the statements of spokeswoman of the former Head of State "I talked to him this morning, his return is imminent. I talk to him every day. Now it is a matter of days" "...he will not travel incognito. People will know when he will be on the way".
