KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) -- Ousted Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and his wife will travel to Jamaica next week, returning to the Caribbean less than three weeks after fleeing into exile, Jamaica's prime minister said Thursday.

Aristide, ousted Feb. 29 at the height of a popular rebellion, currently is staying in the Central African Republic while seeking long-term asylum somewhere.

Aristide wants to be reunited with his two young daughters, who currently are in New York, Prime Minister P.J. Patterson said. The girls were sent there to stay with the mother of Aristide's American wife, Mildred, for their safety.

Patterson said Aristide was not seeking political asylum in Jamaica, where he will stay for up to 10 weeks.


... end of cut...

IMHO Once in Jamaica he is in a better position to demand his office back.
