I don’t know that Haiti has had much time under good governance. I think that the UN has and continues to do more harm than help. The UN is a parasite to poor and rich nations alike.

Bah...I’ll get back to this later, I want to discuss but I’m stressing because my huband will be hollering any minute now! hahahaha!

Second presidency (2001–2004)

Aristide called for France, the former colonizer of the country, to pay $21 billion[54] in restitution to Haiti for the 90 million gold francs supplied to France by Haiti in restitution for French property that was misappropriated in the Haitian rebellion, over the period from 1825 to 1947. Later it was revealed that this claim of repayment from France might have been one of the main reasons behind the coup d’état of 2004

That socialist Aristide did much damage to Haiti all by himself.
