Pic is Albert Rene. Leader of Seychelles from 1977-2004. He turned it from a poor backwater with most of its revenue from tourism to a middle income, well governed state. He was no saint but he did a lot of good.

Engelbert Dollfuss was pretty alright considering he took power in a time of crisis akin to the Russian revolution.

Tito.

I'd say he was okay other than the shit that happened before 1948 (e.g. show trials, political purge, and killing of German and Hungarian civilians living in the north).

Post more about him not found on wikipedia

Some Seychellois anons I've seen on /pol/ have said that he's popular among the large numbers of people who benefited from the coup. There are still a fair number of people who were left worse off after the coup though, and there's quite a bit of reporting about some of his rather questionable financial activities. He also had bodyguards from North Korea, East Germany, and Cuba.
