Everything about Raoul C Dras totally explained

Raoul Cédras (born Jérémie, Haiti July 9, 1949) is a former Haitian military officer, and leader of the military junta from 1991 to 1994.
Cédras was a Lieutenant General in the Haitian army, and came to power after a coup d'etat which ousted elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Some human rights groups criticized Cedras' rule, alleging that thousands of innocent people were massacred by the FAdH military and FRAPH paramilitary units. The United States called him a "warlord" and a "thug".
Under the delegation of President Bill Clinton, the former President Jimmy Carter persuaded Cédras to relinquish his control in 1994, in order to avoid potential US invasion. (External Link
