The dictator who created Tonton Macoute was elected president in what year?
Tonton Macoute The Tonton Macoute (Haitian Creole: "Tonton Makout" ) or simply as the Macoute was a special operations unit within the Haitian paramilitary force created in 1959 by dictator François "Papa Doc" Duvalier. In 1970 the militia was renamed the "Milice de Volontaires de la Sécurité Nationale " (Militia of National Security Volunteers or MVSN, perhaps named after the homonymous Italian Fascist paramilitary organisation). Haitians named this force after the Haitian mythological bogeyman, "Tonton Macoute" ("Uncle Gunnysack"), who kidnaps and punishes unruly children by snaring them in a gunny sack (French: "macoute" ) and carrying them off to be consumed at breakfast.
Telmo Vargas General Telmo Oswaldo Vargas Benalcázar (9 October 1912 – 9 August 2013) was Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Ecuador, who overthrew the military junta of Ramón Castro Jijón on 29 March 1966. After Castro Jijón turned over power to army high command, the high command appointed Clemente Yerovi as president of the civilian junta. As the leader of the army high command, Vargas is considered by some to have briefly served as head of state of Ecuador. He died on 9 August 2013 at the age of 100.
