Free Haiti ... Again!

Amid Uncertainty, Aristide Returns to Cheers in Haiti

By RANDAL C. ARCHIBOLD
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the former priest who rose to become the nation’s first democratically elected president before being forced into exile twice, returned home to an uncertain political climate on Friday, only days before a presidential runoff intended to settle months of discord in this rattled nation.

A big cheer rose up from the Haitian journalists and supporters lined up behind a rope 200 yards from his plane as Mr. Aristide — who left Haiti in 2004 under strong American pressure as rebels closed in on the capital — landed at about 9:05 a.m. local time and stepped back onto Haitian soil.
