Antonio Thrasybule Kébreau (French pronunciation:[ɑ̃tɔnjotʁazibylkebʁo]; November 11, 1909 – January 11, 1963) was Chairman of the Military Council (French: Président du Conseil militaire) that made him provisional head of state of theRepublic of Haiti from 14 June – 22 October 1957.[1][2] His short reign followed that ofDaniel Fignolé and preceded that ofFrançois Duvalier. During his rule, soldiers under Kébreau's rule massacred rioting Fignolé supporters.[1]
Prior to his short tenure as head of state, Kébreau played a part in ousting interim president Daniel Fignolé and sending him into exile.[3] According toBernard Diederich in his bookPapa Doc, Kébreau believed himself to be the real power behind Duvalier, as a military leader. In order to assert who really had the power, Duvalier had him sent to a diplomatic post and relieved him of his domestic duties. Kébreau took this as a threat and fled to the Dominican Republic seeking asylum, before eventually going abroad and taking up his diplomatic post.[4]
Kébreau was appointed as the Haitian ambassador toItaly and theHoly See.[5] He died suddenly on January 13, 1963. Allegedly, he was poisoned on Duvalier's orders.[3]
