Duvalier returned Sunday to Haiti after nearly 25 years in exile, a move that comes as his country struggles with a political crisis and the stalled effort to recover from last year's devastating earthquake. Duvalier said Friday it was the earthquake that brought him back to Haiti and that he wants to help with the reconstruction. (AP Photo/Ramon Espinosa)
