When Baby Doc returned to Haiti, NBC sent Kerry Sanders to Port-au-Prince while Kelly Cobiella narrated the video feed from CBS' bureau in Miami. NBC's Sanders recapped Jean-Claude Duvalier's 15-year "iron fist" rule starting as a 19-year-old in 1971: "His feared private police force, the Tonton Macoutes, silenced opponents by machete or guns." Recalled CBS' Cobiella: "Haitians danced in the streets when Duvalier fled the country in 1986--but that was then. Now, with more than 800,000 living in tent cities, a deadly cholera outbreak and riots over a disputed presidential election, some look back on Duvalier's rule and remember security and stability. But most do not remember it at all." Duvalier expects to stay in Haiti for three days, Cobiella reported.
