Ah well, here's the new one. Who is this?

Evo Morales, President of Bolivia and the sanest leftist to rule in South America since Salvador Allende.

Name the island, the country it belongs to, and the name of the city marked by the star (preferably without search )

St Pierre or Miquelon, off the coast of Newfoundland ?

 

[Tee Kay]

Nope.

Clue: think southern hemisphere

 

[Izipo]

Ah, then that would be one of those islands near the Antarctic.

Crozet Island maybe ?

EDIT : Although I highly doubt it. IIRC it's uninhabited.

It's Mahé, the largest island in the Seychelles. It used to be French until the evil English stole in 1814.
Hence the French sounding names (Belle Ombre, Cerf, Boileau).

The city marked by the star is called Victoria, by the way.
