Those who use high office to betray their people often in their lives in exile:

*Bereft of the protection offered by high office, Musharraf faced a slew of court cases ranging from high treason to conspiracy to murder Bhutto, and he fled abroad, for a long period of self-imposed exile in London and Dubai.

This period saw rich rewards for #Musharraf, with reports of fees topping $200,000 for speaking engagements.*

"In the euphoria that followed the departure of Haiti’s hated dictator, Jean-Claude Duvalier, most Haitian and foreign analysts treated the regimes of the two Duvaliers, father and son, as a historical nightmare created by the malevolent minds of the leaders and their supporters. Yet the crisis, economic and political, that faces this small Caribbean nation did not begin with the dictatorship, and is far from being solved, despite its departure from the scene. In this fascinating study, Haitian-born Michel-Rolph Trouillot examines the mechanisms through which the Duvaliers ruthlessly won and then held onto power for twenty-nine years."
