Thousands March In Haiti for Aristide’s Return

HeadlineMay 20, 2005

In Haiti this week, more than 5,000 supporters of ousted president Jean-Bertrand Aristide marched in Port-au-Prince to demand his return from exile in South Africa. Speeches by Aristide blared from loudspeakers and protesters carried flags plastered with stickers supporting him. They chanted “Aristide left and came back, now he’s coming back again,” referring to the military coup that ousted him in 1991 and his restoration to power in 1994.
