Jean-Claude Duvalier

From Wikinfo

Jean-Claude Duvalier (nicknamed B�b� Doc or Baby Doc) (born July 3, 1951) was a President of Haiti (1971 - 1986).

He was born in Port-au-Prince, and in April 1971, he assumed the presidency of Haiti at the age of 19 upon the death of his father, [[Fran�ois Duvalier]]. He held on to power until February 7, 1986 when, in response to three months of protest against the government's political and economic repression, he fled the country and settled in France.

Following the ouster of his eventual successor, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, in February 2004, Duvalier announced his intention to return to Haiti.
