Exiled former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide says he is ready to return to his quake-devastated country. But it is not clear when or how.

Aristide, appearing with his wife in front of reporters at an airport hotel in Johannesburg Friday, says friends are ready to give him a plane to

go back with emergency supplies.

Aristide refused to take questions after making his brief statement. A South African foreign affairs ministry official who accompanied him to the briefing says South Africa knows of no plans for Aristide to return.
