Mr. President,

We are writing to express our deep appreciation and gratitude for the generosity and hospitality historic offered by the government of South Africa to President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and his family during past seven years. The decision

South Africa to host Aristide after the coup of 2004 is a fraternal act similar to the multiple acts of international solidarity with the people of South Africa in its long march to freedom. This gesture will remain engraved in the memories of Haiti and the world.

Now, Aristide can return to their country and may end their exile. After so many years, everything seems to indicate that it is finally possible. President Jean-Bertrand Aristide reiterated his desire to return home and help the people of Haiti. He said he was ready to leave at any time and his passport was issued. The remaining obstacles to the return of Aristide were removed. Expectations in Haiti have increased and many people are eager to see him return to his country. The arrival of Aristide raise the morale of the Haitian people just when he needs it most.

We are writing in hopes that you can support Aristide to ensure that the transition takes place as quickly as possible. The situation in Haiti remains extremely worrying and Aristide have expressed their desire to help rebuild the country through initiatives in education and other areas where the needs are of great urgency. Many Haitians have been very inspired by the announcement of the issuance of his passport. Some have even traveled for miles to acclaim at the airport, attracted by rumors of his imminent arrival. Any delay in arrival of Aristide would be a further disappointment for people who already lived a long series of tragedies, disasters and tears.

As longtime advocates of freedom in South Africa and Haiti, we reiterate our appreciation for the role important that South Africa has played in hosting Aristide. We also support our whole heart the government's efforts to help South African President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to return quickly to his country. And we hope to see President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti very soon.

Please accept, Mr. President, the expression of our respectful greetings.
