Although Jean de Dieu was elected democratically, his policies and dictatorial manners cause mass discontent among the people, resulting in protests. In response, he orders to disperse the demonstrators by force, as well as arrest and torture an openly criticizing journalist. On the eve of the 200th anniversary of independence, the situation in the country is becoming increasingly tense.
