Former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide is preparing to return to Haiti after seven years in exile. Aristide has lived in South Africa since he was deposed in a 2004 U.S.-backed coup. Reporting from Johannesburg, Democracy Now!’s Amy Goodman speaks actor and activist Danny Glover as he prepares to accompany Aristide. “He is coming back to be with his people. I’m here to be part of that journey with him,” Glover says.
Amy will document Aristide’s flight. Follow DemocracyNow.org for updates.
