[@olguensjoseph3142]

Thank you for bringing up this important issue. Indeed, after Haiti's independence, France, the former colonial power, imposed a substantial debt on Haiti. This debt was purportedly compensation for the loss of revenue from slavery following the Haitian revolution. Similarly, the United States owes Haiti a comparable amount because during the American occupation from 1915 to 1934, they seized all the gold reserves held in Haiti's National Bank. As a Haitian, I demand justice and reparations for these historical injustices. It is crucial not to forget that Haiti was the first Black nation to break free from colonial slavery, an act that challenged the hegemony of the global slave system. It is partly for this reason that world powers have punished Haiti and continue to neglect its calls for reparations...

[@rpoutine3271]

Both countries already paid to rebuilt Haiti several times. Stop blaming others, build you own damned country and pay your own damned stuff. Seeing Haitians who as a people genocided the French act as if they are owed anything by France makes me sick. If anything France should take back the colony you stole.

[@NouveauView]

Will you, as a Haitian citizen give reparations to the Dominican republic for all the abuses done to it by the Haitian government?

[@olguensjoseph3142]

​@@NouveauView Thank you for your comment. I will demonstrate that it is rather the Dominican Republic that has caused harm to Haiti, with the points below: 1. The massacre of Haitians in 1937, known as the Parsley Massacre, where more than 20,000 Haitians were brutally killed by Dominican forces under the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. This horrific event was an act of xenophobic violence and ethnic cleansing perpetrated against Haitians living along the border region. 2. The revocation of citizenship rights in 2013 by the Dominican Constitutional Court, which affected tens of thousands of Dominicans of Haitian descent, rendering them stateless. This ruling retroactively stripped citizenship from individuals born in the Dominican Republic to undocumented Haitian migrants, leaving them vulnerable to deportation and discrimination. 3. Ongoing discrimination and mistreatment of Haitian migrants and their descendants in the Dominican Republic, including reports of labor exploitation, denial of access to education and healthcare, and arbitrary deportation. These systemic injustices perpetuate a cycle of poverty and marginalization among the Haitian community in the Dominican Republic.

[@NouveauView]

@@olguensjoseph3142 None of this happened before Haiti conquered the Santo Domingo, 1. What of the crimes committed by illegal Haitian aliens in the Dominican republic? 2. Immigration reform and border security aren't discrimination, especially when there are very real problems caused by illegal immigration into the Dominican republic from Haiti such as drug and human trafficking. 3. Haiti subjugated and stole from the Dominican republic long before Rafael Trujillo and from what history shows us were just as cruel to the Dominicans as France was to Haiti. Again, If France is to be forced to pay for an event that happened centuries ago Haiti should have to follow that same example.

[@NouveauView]

@@olguensjoseph3142 1)Haiti conquered and subjugated the republic of Santo Domingo long before Rafael Trujillo and from what history has shown, were just as imperialistic and cruel towards the Dominicans as France was towards Haiti, 2. Illegal immigrants aren't a racial group, they're a class of criminal, if illegal immigration is going to occur it's going to mostly occur from countries near the one they've entered. 3. Very real problems are caused in the Dominican republic because of illegal immigrants from Haiti, drug smuggling and human trafficking being two of the biggest problems, Haiti being mistreated at one point doesn't excuse its own abuses of its neighbor, if France is forced to give away money for a long ago event Haiti should do the same.

The main reason why Haiti doesn’t have all the trees is because France took the lumber to make furniture for themselves in France. The French always leave the countries they colonized worse than any other colonizers. It’s time they pay reparations to their victims. Haiti had to pay France and they did. Now it’s time to make things right. Too many distorted stories about Haiti from people who don’t understand or study its history.

Haiti never won any war. Haitians were freed by the French themselves after the Revolution as the new values made slavery forbidden. What was the first thing Haitians did after they were freed? They tortured little girls and women to death, going door to door to genocide the French. I think instead of going all in on Algeria, the French should have brought their anger into Haiti instead and take back their colony.

[@EE-eu9vo]

[@chillout0550]

While I agree some form of repayment should be made, but it shouldn't be money. Haitian leaders cannot manage any funds, plus that money would never make it to Haiti. There's literally no government in Haiti right now so don't be fooled about those guys asking for France to repay. They're the same country members that never accepted Haiti as a free country post revolutions. France should be forced to help rebuild Haiti infrastructures, then stay out of Haiti business when done. Also, if anyone wants to help. They should be forcing US to remove the restrictions they have on Haiti and the Haitian army so the country can get help from other countries aside from US, Canada and France

[@gerardlouis4316]

Well said, chillout. It's a chilling thing you said. 1-Reparations must be made or paid for said amount (200 Bn) or its actual equivalent. 2- Yes, not in cash as you justly put it. It'd just be another Petro-Caribe disaster, FNE disaster, both highway robberies, and other similar thefts perpetrated and observed from earthquakes assistance to any other form of so-called AID or assistance or fund (FMI comes to mind), all, of international and domestic origins and collusions. 3- Half of that money 💰 would never make it to the country. And from the other half that reaches our shore, only 1 or 2% would actually be accounted for. The other 48%? Embezzled, swallowed up. 40% of it would go directly into the corrupted system and 8% into fake projects that would never be actualized, aka dilapidated as well, scammed. Yes, having France or better an independent "corps", "body" or party (if there is such a thing), and not associated in any shape or form with either France or any Haitian gov, to play supervisor, manager, overseer etc of rebuilding projects and chantiers of economic and technological developments (infrastructures and superstructures, education, agriculture, fishing, farming, energy (air, water, electricity), science (Architecture, engineering and medecine), tourism (import/"export" more importantly) and the big one, and that one would be new: Mining technology. Nationalized mining for oil and mining for special rocks and minerals. Alas, while there surely are better and more educated ideas out there, if France and /or the US, UK, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, were to humble themselves to a moral debt but also to accept financial responsibility and make reparations, to Haiti in particular. They might have had to do that as well to most of their former colonies in Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas and Caribbean, whose blood they suck and riches they lifted, a kind trade for stole. Ps: Constitutional reforms should also take place in order to guarantee lands to Haiti to Haitians of Haitian (African/Taino) ancestry not to discourage or limit international unions but to protect and ensure natuoonal ownership of the nation's lands and resources as well as ancestral integrity.

Same issue with many African countries. While the Europeans were preaching “Democracy” they were still forcefully occupying certain African countries up until the early 1990s. Africans can’t blame everything on the Europeans and have to take charge of their countries. But it is undeniable that the systems the Europeans left shattered many countries and caused division amongst the locals. Too many African people that share ancestry but were divided up by the Europeans greed for resources. Some of these African countries are only a few years old. It will definitely take a while b4 they catch up economically with other “developing” nations. But when they do, they need to remember to stay away from those European vultures and even China. There is still wealth in Africa but getting rid of the European systems that allowed corruption and other evils to ensue will take time.
