Exclusive Interview with Jean-Bertrand Aristide during Plane Returning to Haiti
SHORT VIDEO CLIPS, 28 Mar 2011
Former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and his family were flown on Friday [18 Mar 2011] by the South African government back to their home in Haiti after seven years in exile. Democracy Now!’s Amy Goodman was the only reporter to join them on the journey. This is part one of our global broadcast exclusive conversation with Aristide as he flew over the Atlantic Ocean, approaching Haiti. “If we decide to go back when we had an army of 7,000 soldiers controlling 40 percent of the national product that would mean we are headed back to misery, instead of doing something to move from that misery to poverty with dignity,” Aristide says.
