HAITI - Towards an imminent return of former President Aristide

"Everything is ready to receive Aristide on Thursday 17 March," as the weekly Haiti. Overthrown in 2004 and forced into exile, the former president is preparing to return to the island "officially and definitively," says the publication. The United States, among others, had lobbied for it yet defers his return, three days before the second round of presidential elections.

The poll will be held under high tension, the two candidates, and Michel Martelly Mirlande Manigat, being at loggerheads.
