Guy Philippe Biography
Guy Philippe is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on February 29, 1968 in Haiti, Haiti. Guy Philippe (born 29 February 1968) is a convicted drug smuggler serving time in US federal prison. He had gained power in Haiti as a paramilitary leader, and had participated in the electoral process to become a political leader. He led the 2000-2004 paramilitary insurgency that culminated in the U.S. government’s 2004 Haitian coup d’état ousting of Haiti’s elected government and President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
In February 2004, he returned from the Dominican Republic with his paramilitary group to join the 2004 Haitian coup d’état against president Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Five days after crossing back into Haiti and joining former militia leader Louis-Jodel Chamblain in announcing his support for anti-government forces, Philippe was given command of the rebel army. On 2 March 2004, Philippe and his paramilitaries retook control of the former Haitian Army headquarters across from the National Palace. Philippe declared to the international press that he himself was now in control of 90% of Haïti’s armed forces. In an address on Haitian Radio, Philippe declared, “The country is in my hands.” He summoned twenty police commanders to meet with him the previous day and warned that if they failed to appear he would arrest them.
Shortly after dawn on 16 July 2007, five helicopters, two planes and more than a dozen heavily armed DEA and Haitian anti-drug agents surrounded Philippe’s home in the hills above Les Cayes, on Haiti’s remote southern peninsula, to seize evidence of drug trafficking. Philippe was suspected of ties to illegal drug trafficking in Haiti. Philippe’s supporters said the allegations against him were politically motivated, noting he had recently threatened to identify powerful Haitians who provided financial support for the 2004 coup d’état. Nevertheless, Philippe was indicted in the United States on charges of conspiracy to import cocaine and money laundering. Following his indictment, Philippe isolated himself in his hometown of Pestel protected by his paramilitaries.
In 2015, Philippe began his campaign for Senator in the Haitian parliament as a member of the National Consortium of Haitian Political Parties (CNPPH). However, his paramilitary units continued a guerrilla war to “create havoc and overthrow the provisional president, Jocelerme Privert.” In the final election Philippe won the seat for Grand’Anse department, and was due to be sworn in on January ninth.
On 15 January 2000, Guy Philippe and his wife had a daughter named Aïsha. Following October 2000 accusations of participation in a coup plot and his subsequent removal from his post as police chief of Cap-Haïtien, Philippe fled to the Dominican Republic. While there he recruited ex-military and others forming a paramilitary organization, which received training from the U.S. Government. The Haitian government accused Philippe of masterminding a deadly attack on the Police Academy in July 2001 and of an attempted coup in December 2001. In July 2003, witnesses place him, together with Voltaire Jean-Batiste, leading a death squad operating in eastern Haiti just across the Dominican border.

Alberto Enríquez Gallo”), where he graduated in 1995.
