'Baby Doc’ Duvalier pledges 8 million in aid for Haiti

So, Baby Doc is apparently giving back 8 million of the 250 million he embezzled when he was Haiti's dictator. Guess we'll put his name up for the Nobel Peace Prize.

From the Telegraph:

He inherited power from his father, “Papa Doc”, and the father-son regime left at least 40,000 political opponents dead.

Many lay the blame for Haiti’s chaotic, poverty-stricken recent history at the hands of the Duvaliers.

Faced with a popular revolt, the Reagan administration helped him seek exile in France, where he has lived in Paris ever since.
