"Baby Doc" Comes Back To Haiti

We explore what the unexpected reemergence of dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier means for Haiti, a country his family led for decades.

Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, the dictator whose family ruled Haiti for decades, reemerged there this weekend after spending nearly a quarter century in exile. His return to Haiti is an unexpected development in a country reeling from an earthquake and sputtering through national elections. We explore the Duvalier family history and what the return could mean for Haiti.
