Antonio Thrasybule Kébreau (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃tɔnjo tʁazibyl kebʁo]; 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 the Republic of Haiti from 14 June – 22 October 1957.
[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 to Bernard Diederich in his book Papa 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.
