PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Haiti's ousted former president, said he will return to the Caribbean nation "once the conditions are right" but has no plans to go back into government.
In a wide-ranging interview published Thursday in the London Review of Books, Aristide said he and his family are staying in South Africa "as guests, not as exiles." However, he said the timing of his return will be up to President Rene Preval, his former ally.
"Once the conditions are right, we'll go back. As soon as Rene Preval judges that the time is right then I'll go back," Aristide said in the interview, conducted in July 2006 by Peter Hallward, a philosophy professor at Britain's Middlesex University.
