Haiti to issue ex-president Aristide a passport

The Haitian government says it is ready to issue former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide with a passport, opening the way for his possible return.

Mr Aristide was ousted seven years ago, and has been living in exile. Aristide fled the country in 2004, but says he is ready to return from exile in South Africa.

Additionally, supporters in Haiti of Aristide demonstrated for his return on Wednesday as the country nervously waited to hear who would contest the presidency in a March run-off election.
