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 head of state of the Republic of Haiti from 14 June – 22 October 1957.[1][2] His short reign followed that of Daniel Fignolé and preceded that of François Duvalier. During his rule, soldiers under Kébreau's rule massacred several hundreds, if not several thousand rioting Fignolé supporters.
Kébreau was later appointed as the Haitian ambassador to Italy. He died suddenly on January 13, 1963. Allegedly, he was poisoned on Duvalier's orders.[3]
