 PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) - Ousted Haitian leader Jean-Bertrand Aristide is ready to end what he calls an unconstitutional exile, but said Wednesday the timing of his return is up to "my president" and other leaders.
Aristide congratulated the Haitian people and his one-time protege, President-elect Rene Preval, on the Feb. 7 election, only the fourth in Haiti's 202 years of independence.
Preval was belatedly declared victor Feb. 16 as ongoing protests over alleged election irregularities threatened to turn violent.
