Haiti’s turbulent political history – a timeline
Al Jazeera
‘Papa’ and ‘Baby Doc’ Duvalier, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Jovenel Moise – Haiti has a mixed political past.
Haiti became Latin America and the Caribbean’s first independent state of the colonial era and the first Black-led republic when it threw off French rule in the 19th century. But it has suffered cycles of violence, invasion and repression for most of its subsequent history, including the dynastic Duvalier dictatorship. President Jovenel Moise was shot dead by unidentified attackers overnight, stirring fears of another bout of turmoil.More Related News
