Aristide to reopen medical school

[bcholmes]

Former Sen. Louis Gerald Gilles told The Associated Press the former leader [Jean-Bertrand Aristide] planned to attend a ceremony in October to inaugurate the expansion of his university and will deliver a speech on education.

Upon his March return at the airport in Port-au-Prince, Mr Aristide denounced the exclusion of his political party from a recent presidential election.

Since then, he has avoided making public appearances and remained in his private compound on the northeastern end of the capital. He has also declined numerous media requests to be interviewed.
