Former Haitian dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier returned Sunday to Haiti nearly 25 years after a popular uprising against his brutal dictatorship forced him into exile, a surprising and perplexing move that comes as his country struggles with a political crisis and the stalled effort to recover from last year's earthquake.

Duvalier, part of a father-and-son dynasty that presided over one of the darkest chapters in Haitian history, arrived on an Air France jet in a jacket and tie to hugs from supporters at the Port-au-Prince airport. He was calm as he was led into the immigration office. He left the airport without making a statement to journalists, waving to a crowd of more than 200 supporters as he got into an SUV.


In the fall of 2007, President Rene Preval told reporters that Duvalier could return to Haiti but would face justice for the deaths of thousands of people and the theft of millions of dollars.

There were no immediate protests in reaction to his return and very few people were even aware that the former dictator had come back to Haiti, where more than 1 million people are living in crowded, squalid tent encampments after their homes were destroyed from the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake. Half the people in the country are younger than 21, and weren't alive during Duvalier's rule.

2. This will not end well.

He is probably gathering a group of thugs to reprise the Tonton Macoutes. If he also makes any effort to help the people, they may follow him. They are so disillusioned with what has happened so far in receiving very little help that is ongoing that he may fill that role. It is a strategy employed by many people who the authorities are against.

He is a horrible man. However, too many people are too young to remember him and his repressive and violent ways. This may be an opening for him and anybody that backs him.

The international community better do something about this quickly if they can.

3. The "Internation Community" is probably backing him.
