What did happen is that several million people who deserved freedom,justice and democracy got it with no leadership whatsoever and years later they are still trying to figure it all out.THe ton ton were just the latest to take advantage of the situation. More recently they have had true con-men raping and pillaging the country like the Clintons and many others.
What most don’t realize is into the 1950’s, Haiti was a fairly decent country, with a middle class, that was mostly mulatto. But of course the blacks, couldn’t stand to see their lighter-skinned brethren doing better off than they were, so you know, they let the machete become the great equalizer, and it’s been all downhill since then.
