D he former Haitian dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier is dead. The 63-year-old died of heart failure. Haitian President Michel Martelly confirmed the death on Saturday of the short message service Twitter. “Love and reconciliation must always overcome our internal quarrels. On that your soul rest in peace,” Martelly wrote about the man who is blamed for atrocities and the deaths of thousands of people.

In January 2011, he returned to Haiti to “help the people of Haiti,” in his words. Jean-Claude Duvalier was in April 1971 by his father Francois Duvalier, known as “Papa Doc”, a reign of terror over in the Caribbean country and was overthrown in 1986.
The regime of the Duvalier is for the death of thousands of people held responsible. Duvalier Junior intended to have made hundreds of millions of dollars to private accounts during his tenure. In the 25 years of exile in France, he lived among other things, on the Côte d’Azur. From him comes the quote: “It is the fate of the people of Haiti to suffer.”

Against him ran several tests. He was repeatedly arrested and interrogated and faced with complaints of human rights violations, without having been convicted but why.
