Former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide Wants To Return To Haiti

News - January 18 2011, 8:09 PM

If Aristide does return, political instability in an impoverished nation struggling to dig itself out from the massive 7.0-magnitude earthquake could result.

Aristide has previously hinted at returning, saying he merely wants to be a teacher.

But his enduring popularity and ability to galvanize Haitians would likely propel him into the political spotlight.

"We feel deeply and profoundly that we should be there, in Haiti, with them, trying our best to prevent death," Aristide told reporters

Speaking briefly in Creole, Aristide told Haitians: "If one suffers we all suffer.

Togetherness is strength.

Courage.

Hold on, hold on."
