Haiti's 'Baby Doc' in surprise return from exile - Americas, World - The Independent

Haiti's 'Baby Doc' in surprise return from exile - Americas, World - The Independent:

"Jean-Claude 'Baby Doc' Duvalier, a once feared and reviled dictator who was ousted in a popular uprising nearly 25 years ago, made a surprise return to Haiti as the country wrestles with a political crisis, cholera outbreak and the stalled reconstruction from last year's devastating earthquake.

Duvalier's stunning arrival at the airport Sunday was as mysterious as it was unexpected. He greeted a crowd of several hundred cheering supporters but did not say why he chose this tumultuous period to suddenly reappear from his exile in France — or what he intended to do while back in Haiti."
