What is another word for duvalier?
Pronunciation: [djˈuːvɐliə] (IPA) 
The word "duvalier" refers to the surname of a Haitian political family. However, there are several synonyms that could be used to describe the legacy of this family. One such synonym could be "dictatorial", as both François and Jean-Claude Duvalier ruled Haiti as autocrats, suppressing political opposition and instilling fear in many Haitians. Another synonym could be "corrupt", as the Duvalier family enriched themselves through embezzlement and extortion while Haitians suffered under their rule. Finally, "oppressive" could be used to describe the regime, given the widespread human rights abuses perpetrated by the Duvaliers against those who opposed them.
