It is the destiny of the people of Haiti to suffer.
I'm the one who initiated the democratic process.
I want to take this opportunity to express, one more time, my deep sadness to those countrymen who feel, rightly, that they were victims of my government.
There has not been one day since I left that I have not thought about Haiti.
I am currently in Haiti to help the Haitian people in their reconstruction.
People of Haiti, I am the heir to the political philosophy, the doctrine and the revolution which my late father incarnated as president-for-life [and] I have decided to continue his work with the same fierce energy and the same intransigence.
