1951- . Right-wing president of Haiti
1971-86. Known as Baby Doc, he succeeded his
father Francois Duvalier, becoming, at the
age of 19, the youngest president in the
world. He continued to receive support from
the USA but was pressured into moderating
some elements of his father's regime, yet
still tolerated no opposition. In 1986, with
Haiti's economy stagnating and with
increasing civil disorder, Duvalier fled to
France, taking much of the Haitian treasury
with him.
