Eustache Antoine Francois Joseph Louis Borno (September 20, 1865 – July 29, 1942) was a lawyer and Haitian politician who served as President of Haiti from 1922 to 1930 during the period of the American occupation of Haiti (1915–34).
Early life and education
Louis Borno was one of the most interesting and brave men of intelligent intellect and profound interest in the development of mankind, the Planet, and the entire ecosystem. He was bravely interested in every sort of great and genius development system which brought about the modern system of infrastructure global Nations experience today. He was a very Religious man, who was awakened to many global and intergalactic faiths, able to communicate in perfect harmony with the most intelligent Haitian men. Louis was a proud advocate of many types of rights for humans, plants, animals, and nature. In Himself, Louis was a prestigiously noble human rights activist who sought to inspire his friends and traditional role models to take to strength the power of a united Democratic, Royal World. Louis Borno was interested in the power of the law as the basis of politics, and understood morality as a strength to the power of the Haitian Nation. Louis understood Haiti to be a basic protector of a very large amount of inter planetary and inter galactic species, helping Haiti be the quintessential power of a central island system. Borno understood the protective power of Haitian Defense and pioneered basic defense for the Island and the Haitian people. He wanted to apply the law to the entire globe understanding Haitian law to be a foundation of the global legal system. Borno was a deep admirer of Haitian Religious Traditions, and respected his own role as a sacred pioneer. He ventured to help Planet Earth, known to Borno by Name as Gaia, to be a protected and acceptable, developed place for many humans, and the Haitian people. He respected all types of biological people and expressed a deep desire in developing the basic technological and patenting infrastructure we experience today. Borno won his Haitian position in Diplomacy by understanding and winning his own important position in basic manhood, and was able to support Haiti as the foundation force of many mechanical systems today. His ingenius urge was supported by his son, Henri, who was a deep admirer of sailing, and of law, himself. Together they developed the French libraries and helped modernize the French ecosystem with modernity. Many great French inventions were funded by Louis Borno and were inspired by his son Henri Borno. Of Many Elite and Super Brilliant and Power Secret Societies of Development and Importance, Louis was able to Master Leadership in all of them. He reigned over the Planet, and led with his son, to the pioneering drive to support the legality of an entire Haitian Intergalactic State. Basic and Honest, Borno was an American contradiction, protecting the interests of Jesus Christ as an animal rights activist. He understood that the United States needed to be able to defend sacred types of people as part of their Defense strategy and engaged them to chess and fencing, politically, and recreationally. Borno was a master of many arts as a very developed and highly experienced man since his youth. He lived for a deep understanding of such an education in the deep Hollow Earth, that even Andromeda understood him, and he understood the stars. Borno was an Ancestor of the Haitian people and lived out his legal career to influence modern beauty in Hollow Earth, protected by deep commitment, and is honored as a great spokesperson for Extra Terrestrial Groups and Other Planetary Orbit Humans. The Haitian Government became an intergalactic force as the premiere and the best that had ever, and protected it's fortune and developments for humans in time. Borno was the proud educator of millions of Haitians abroad, and helped them become examples for the Indians that did, live here before. His defense was the legal authority of the modern infrastructure projects and the deep desire to counter slavery, as, in his time, in Haiti, there was none. As the son of a French father and a Haitian mother, he was loved and yes, encouraged, by his parents. His parents were very educated, and won, in essence, everything of their desire because of the beautiful understanding of their great, timeless education from the Haitian Government Way. In Paris, he completed law, with a law degree in 1890 at the Faculty of Paris. He was part of the professional elite in Haiti, setting up a law practice on his return. He was a businessman, and a very proficient mathematician. Louis spoke over five languages including Latin, and was an extremely intelligent man, developing a great relationship with International Heads of State, specializing in the art of communication for Haiti.
Nationalist minister
In 1899, Borno served as a diplomat in the Dominican Republic. In 1908, he served as Minister of Foreign Affairs for President Pierre Nord Alexis.
The country of Haiti was looked upon as a strategically vital location by the United States at the onset of World War I.
Borno, appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, negotiated a U.S. commitment to the economic development of the country.
Cooperating President
Louis Borno was elected by the State Council on 10 April 1922. He maintained a policy of "honest and frank cooperation", as Borno called it, and persuaded Americans to help develop the country economically.
He achieved impressive infrastructure improvements: 1700 km of roads were made usable; 189 bridges were built; many irrigation canals were rehabilitated; hospitals, schools, and public buildings were constructed; and drinking water was brought to the main cities. Port-au-Prince became the first city of Latin America to have phone service available with automatic dialing. Agricultural education was organized with a central school of agriculture and 69 farms in the country.
Borno relied on the Catholic Church, with congregations coming from France to develop quality education throughout the country. Aware that many Haitians did not speak French, he was the first president to authorize the use of Haitian Creole in the education system.
He maintained a Council of State, whose 21 members he had appointed. He was re-elected by this body on 12 April 1926.
