As late as 1915, which was 111 years after Haiti's successful slave revolt and reovlution, about 80% of the Haitian government's resources were being paid out in debt service to French and American banks on loans that had been made to enable Haiti to pay reparations to France. We should also be mindful that this is the same way in which Continental African nations are crippled from rebuilding themselves after colonization and enslavement where they are still being made to pay enormous odious debts.

Is the implementation of our own money system, a Pan-African currency, necessary for the liberation of African people?

If somebody threw you overboard off of boat.....and you could see the shore....what would you do?




The repayment of " so called war debt" severely hampered the Haitian economy...AND so did the decades of corruption, mismanagement and political turmoil that followed from 1915 to the present.
It wasn't either one or the other one but both. macro and micro factors.


Instead of ethnic tribes in conflict over political power and resources as is the case in much of Africa....the power struggles between the mulatto minority and the Black majority in Haiti have been at the root of its problems since independence(and during the Revolution)
