9. Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Haiti (1991, 2004)
Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Haiti’s first democratically elected president, was ousted from office twice with U.S. involvement. In 1991, a military coup led by General Raoul Cédras deposed Aristide, prompting U.S. intervention under Operation Uphold Democracy to restore him in 1994. In 2004, amid political unrest and armed insurgency, Aristide resigned and was flown into exile, with the U.S. facilitating his departure. Aristide later claimed he was forced out, describing the event as a “political kidnapping.” (en.wikipedia.org)
