Prosper Avril Ousted from Power in Haiti

March 10th, 1990 35 years ago

Prosper Avril was ousted from power in Haiti after a coup d'état that he staged himself in September 1988. Over the ensuing months, his increasingly authoritarian regime faced widespread opposition, culminating in a series of protests and calls for his resignation. The Haitian populace, weary of Avril's tactics, rallied around the opposition. Ultimately, this culminated in Avril's departure from power as protests grew larger and a democratic transition began to emerge, leading to the first free elections in the nation.
