Haiti is the only country in the world where descendants of enslaved people were forced to pay reparations to descendants of its masters for generations. Nobody knew exactly how much Haiti paid France — and at what cost to its future — until now. nyti.ms/388mQ5E

Finally, @nytimes has decided to shed light on Haiti's Root of Misery, for its audience and the world. There is nothing new for Haitians and Haitian Historians. My heart is with all "the farmers who ultimately paid [the double debt to France], through taxes on their exports”

Rasin mizè Ayiti: Reparasyon yo bay Mèt esklav yo (Published 2022)

Rasin mizè Ayiti: Reparasyon yo bay Mèt esklav yo (Published 2022)

An 1791, Ayisyen ki te an esklavaj yo kouri dèyè Fransè yo epi fonde yon nasyon. Men Lafrans fè plizyè jenerasyon Ayisyen peye pou libète yo. Konbyen sa te koute yo te yon mistè, jouk koulyeya.

We are heartbroken by the sudden loss of Dr. Paul Farmer. There are no words to adequately convey the impact he has had on our work and on healthcare in Haiti and around the world. May we honor his memory by continuing to ensure no one is ever without the care they deserve.

Today Fritz Jean & Steven Benoit were elected president & PM, respectively, by the National Transition Council, to lead Haiti to democratic elections with a broad consensus, cooperative team. Can they take reins of power? Tainted de facto PM Ariel Henry still in office for now.

My heart is in my throat with this news. One never wants to hear the words earthquake and Haiti linked again. Reports from the south of the country appear to be devastating - homes collapsed, roads split down the middle. Major devastation. Prayers up for minimal fatalities.
