Raoul CedrasRaul Cedras ruled Haiti from 1991 to 1994 after a coup which ousted elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.The United States called him a "warlord" and "thug", but it convinced him to leave in 1994 by threatening to invade the country. The US also gave him over $1 million and rented three properties from him, putting US personnel in them, presumably to protect them from being looted. After leaving Haiti, Cedras went to Panama.
