PORT-AU-PRINCE -- Haiti is ready to issue a diplomatic passport to ousted ex-President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, opening the way for his possible return from exile in South Africa, a senior official said yesterday.
"The Council of Ministers, under the leadership of President René Préval, decided that a diplomatic passport be issued to President Aristide, if he asks for it," said Fritz Longchamp, general secretary for the presidency.
Some aid donors fear the one-time Catholic priest who became Haiti's first freely elected president in 1990 could disrupt an already confused election process from which his party is banned.
