Voters in Haiti went to the polls Sunday for the presidential runoff election. Preliminary election results are expected March 31, with full results due April 16. Two days before the election, former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide returned to the country after living in exile for seven years following the 2004 U.S.-backed coup.
Jean-Bertrand Aristide, former president of Haiti: “In 1804, the Haitian revolution marked the end of slavery. Today, may the Haitian people mark the end of exile and coup d’état, while peacefully we must move from social exclusion to social inclusion.”
