France hasn’t owned it for centuries. Corruption is the leading cause of problems in that poor nation. What has to happen is for one set of bandits to take over and establish order. Papa Doc was an awful tyrant but there was order—now we see what is worse than a dictator—no government at all. It seems when ever they get a good leader—he is killed. Haiti must solver her own problems and reach its own form of Government. They may need to go communist—or put back a king or fascist leader to rebuild—But it must come from them! How many times have we invaded over the centuries? It never works.
the debt that France demanded during Haiti’s first 100 years is partially what held it back.
Imagine if the USA was held to ransom for $161 billion from 1776 to 1900
