When rebels advanced on Haiti's capital city this weekend, President Jean-Bertrand Aristide fled the country. His first stop was the Central African Republic, with reports suggesting that his final destination will be South Africa. He is not the only ousted president to take refuge in Africa. Should African countries offer safe havens to such people, many of whom have headed regimes with shocking human rights records? What should be done with ousted heads of state who cannot live safely in their own countries?
