Haiti's Salvation Revealed
Who might have begun to imagine that the solution to Haiti's dreadful history of instability along with its current collapse after the January 2010 earthquake followed by a complete break-down of government institutions, and a cholera epidemic topped off by a corrupt-plagued election, Haiti would receive such incredible news.
Baby Doc Duvalier has decided it is incumbent upon him as a loyal Haitian with a family tradition of service to his country, to return.
In their hour of need, Haitians can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Baby Doc Duvalier has returned to help them restore order and good government, the health and education system, the economy and opportunities for advancement in every sphere of public and private enterprise. He has pledged himself to do this, out of a sense of charity, honour and duty.
All of these beneficent qualities representing the sterling genetic gifts he inherited from his father, Papa Doc Duvalier.
He is no longer a callow youth of 19, famously recognized as a playboy; hardly material to present as president of an aspiring nation. "I was waiting for this moment for a long time. When I first set foot on the ground, I felt great joy", said Baby Doc, responding to the hundreds of enthusiastic supporters waiting outside Haiti's airport, chanting "long live Duvalier!"
He is now a mature man of 59 years, with a new, French wife. Quite prepared to take up where he left off when the interfering United States sparked a popular uprising that ended with his peremptorily leaving his island kingdom. He has not yet revealed much in the way of details.
Whether or not, for example, the corruption, human rights abuses and Tonton Macoutes he and his father became famous for, will mark his new reign.
He has assured Haitians, however, that their plight strikes at his heart. His return was prompted, he assured them, "because I know the people are suffering. I wanted to show them my solidarity, to tell them that I am here, I am well disposed and determined to participate in the rebirth of Haiti."
How utterly marvellous.
