Haiti, 2004 Portrait of a dangerous man.
Commander Deuxcel was the leader of an outfit of armed men who
were part of the military effort that ousted Jean Paul Aristide, the
President of Haiti. These units terrorized
the population to quell any opposition. Reports had it that this group had recently
rounded up a number of people, locked them in a shipping container
and demanded ransom from relatives, threatening to dump the steel
box in the ocean. As the relatives pleaded that they had no money, the
commander and his men made good on their threat.
Deuxcel wanted to
get in on having his picture taken when the group was encountered by
the photographer.
