Rene Ducasse

Rene Ducasse emerges as Haiti's newly designated Minister of Justice, immediately ensnared in General Bazan's military purge. Soldiers haul him into custody amid a ferocious crackdown that engulfs Port-au-Prince: rally slaughters claim lives, the Chief Justice cowers under house arrest masked as protection, police stations fall to troops, and President-elect Dessaline evaporates into mystery. Ducasse's swift arrest broadcasts Bazan's iron resolve to pulverize the incoming democratic order, casting him as a frontline casualty whose fate amplifies the White House's urgent calculus on trapped UN observers and spiraling Haitian chaos.
