PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haitian national television says former dictator Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier has returned to the country.
The stunning development caught the nation off-guard in a moment of political crisis. Duvalier landed on an Air France plane around 5:50 p.m. local time Sunday. He wore a dark suit and blue tie. He was greeted at the airport with hugs from supporters.
He was taken into an immigration office before customs. Duvalier fled into exile during a 1986 popular rebellion and has been living in Paris.
