#2367: Re: #2359: On Dr. Francois Duvalier : Beaucejour replies (fwd)
From: Jean Beaujour <jbb123@hotmail.com>
Beaucejour replies to Poincy,
Most of discussion on Duvalier has been focused on the negatives aspect of
the regime. I believe a few positive things did come out of the Duvalier
regime. Under any regime, there are going to be torture and violence. By the
way, after Duvalier, I think more people died under the Army and FRAPH. This
goes to show you that the problem of violence in Haiti is not a Duvalier
thing.
Duvalier has changed the political scene in Haiti forever. Prior to him,
noone really made a clear effort to include the mass in Haitian Politics.
The mass which was excluded of politics is now a strong force to reckon
with. He empowered the mass and this will prove to be significant now and in
the future.
