The presence of Baby Doc, as the Haitian dictator is worldwide known , is a sign of political instability on the island

While the world press reports and questions the inopportune presence in Haiti of one of the nation´s greatest dictators Jean Claude Duvalier, after 25 years of comfortable exile in France, the media concealed reality is that there are over 3 838 deaths in the impoverished island from the onset of cholera epidemic.

On Tuesday the Cuban radio and television reported on this particular based on a recent report from the Ministry of Public Health and Population issued on January 11 in which it asserted that those infected with cholera in Haiti exceeded 105 000 827 people, and from that number 103 000 273 were discharged after receiving medical treatment, and in Artibonite, the place where was diagnosed the first case, more than 851 patients died from the epidemic.

Dominican Republic, the Caribbean nation sharing with Haiti the geographical environment of La Española Island, announced on Monday a total of 169 people infected persons, although there is still no reported deaths while the international community continues to support with medical staff and health, and medicine supplies.

The presence of Baby Doc, as the Haitian dictator is worldwide known , is a sign of political instability on the island following the recent disputed election.

On Monday and Tuesday there were several demonstrations of humanitarian organizations that rejected the arrival of Jean Claude Duvalier and pressured the current government for his trial, specially the Special Envoy of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNESCO) has protested and stated: How can he return to this country without being worried, knowing that he is not clean citizen?

For his part Rupert Colville, spokesman for the UN High Commission for Human Rights, said Duvalier's return increases the possibilities  of being accused of atrocities committed during his 15 year-regime  because it is easier to file charges in the country where the crimes were committed, however, the fragile Haitian judicial system is unable to carry out such a process.
