Jean-Claude Duvalier, also known as “Baby Doc,” was born on July 3, 1951, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and died on October 4, 2014. He succeeded his father, François “Papa Doc” Duvalier, as the President of Haiti in 1971 at the age of 19, making him one of the world’s youngest heads of state at the time.
His regime continued the authoritarian practices of his father’s rule, characterized by political repression, corruption, and human rights abuses. Despite initial hopes for reform, his leadership exacerbated economic problems and social unrest, leading to widespread discontent.
In 1986, amid growing opposition and international pressure, Duvalier fled Haiti for exile in France, where he lived for many years before returning to Haiti in 2011. His legacy remains controversial, marked by a complex mix of admiration among some supporters and condemnation for his autocratic rule and its impact on Haiti’s development.
