PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Former Haitian president Leslie François Manigat, who was ousted in a 1988 military coup after serving only a few months, died on Friday after a long battle with cancer. He was 83.
Manigat helped lead political efforts to restore democracy to Haiti in the 1980s at the end of nearly three decades of dictatorship by François "Papa Doc" Duvalier and his son Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier.
