Baby Doc is back in Haiti

[Magog]

The BBC are reporting that 'Baby Doc' Duvalier, former dictator and son of 'Papa Doc' has returned to Haiti

Now I'm not an expert on Haitian politics or history, but ever since reading Graham Greene's the Comedians I've had a passing interest in the country. It seems to me that this really can't be good news for Haiti. I can only assume that, given the parlous state of the political systems and infrastructure following last years earthquake, he feels he stands a chance of seizing power. Could be interesting to see what happens over the coming weeks and months there

That guy simply cannot be good news for Haiti at the moment. Dodgy as f*ck IMO. Still, at least all the news coverage keeps showing his 1986 escape video with some tasty 80's German metal in it, so it's not all bad
