    Excellent comment here. Haiti has helped to shape the course of history, and even the development, of not just the Caribbean but the entire Western Hemisphere. The world truly owes Haiti so much!🇭🇹

    they have been brain washed for so long they believe anything the white say and these men/women do their hair as if they were white and forget their true identity. They fail to realize it's the white who copied from us and came to us for knowledge and later on used it against us and each other. Until they wakeup nothing will change. Even today the highest office in the land instead of bringing people together as divided us against each other and even ... I'll stop here, you get the gest

    May God inspire those who mean well the resolve and action to help this island nation stop the bad guys in this situation and establish responsible governing May He also comfort and save the victims in the name of His son Jesus Christ. The hypocrite Christian culture the slave masters inherited from their unscriptual way the catholic, and still not getting the gospel right protestant reformers failed the real Gospel. Our spiritman part of our being the part that is supposed to rule our lives (instead of our fleshly nature leading our lives)...that spiritman we are, is now supposed to be actually newly born again, from the Father of all spirits. Giving us a new chance to follow God's excellence and become perfect like He is; flawless perfection. Fitting kids for a perfect God. When then the children of these misdirected Christians became masters and ABUSERS of the people they were suppose to lead into true christianity, their victims ran back to the devil for help. The devil himself is an abuser who rules via clever lies. Lies disfunction and malfunctions; that is why Hatti is always in trouble. If they turn from voodoo, to become saved friends of the living Jesus who sits on the throne of the Father together with the Father; they will help throw satan where he belongs (the septic tank created for the devil and his angels (the word angels mean messengers) from where he will leave "being" forever, (" you will not be forever"). Are you sure you want to put out, messages from him for him (as many are chosing to do today? You will also take part of his punishment. All his stuff will pass away forever and ever.

    God in his own time will do as he wished, and people will continue to be vial even to this day, slavery is still ongoing right under our noses (nothing is new under the sun). As for so called Christians/Catholics whatever name they choose are the ones behind it all and supporting it all. Did you know the 1st boat that organized the voyages back in 1562 by John Hawkins boat that landed the start was named after Jesus of L.?

    If you know your history you would know why, imagine a black country who kick out his master/emperor and beat him out of a country and its resources that produce most top natural resources...can you see the humiliation that its neighbors and other white counterparts (such as Deutch, Portugal, Spain, England, America, Germany etc. you get the idea), even to this day are ashamed of that revolt that cannot be denied nor erased from history no matter how hard they try because God is a revealer of secrets. Even to this day they keep it people where they want, and other countries have joined hands with France to keep us poor and financially in debt still to this day as they continue their evil deeds to take our natural resources... Don't get me started.

    GIVE CREDIT TO THE FRENCH REVOLUTION THAT FREED THE SLAVES First, the people of Haiti is a great people but you should give credit that in 1793 and 1794, it is the French Revolution that voted the end of slavery. Some emancipated slaves became french soldiers and officers like the heros of the haitian revolution. (In New Orleans, slaves were freed and became the free blacks of America.) This event allowed the Haitian Revolution. In 1802 the English invaded Haiti, controlled the south and supported the former aristocrats that wanted to keep their plantations while black people no longer wanted to work on a plantation, of course. This event of the English invasion is always forgotten ! It was not a war between France and England. It was the coalition of all kings and aristocrats in Europe and on Earth that wanted to kill the French Revolution. They succeded at waterloo what allowed the english colonies to keep their slaves and the Americas as well. Napoleon send a troup but DIDN'T gave the order to re established slavery neither his army in Haiti. A contrario, Napoleon tried to keep Toussaint Louverture on his side and negociated with him. In 1804 France opened an university of 100 chemist to industrialised the production of sugar from beet in France and knew that the colonies that only produced sugar and coffe would lose their value as coffee and sugar will be produced elsewhere. Considering the balance between cost and revenue, Napoleon decided to sell. Haiti became poor when France chemist discovered how to make suggar from beet. France is one of the wealthiest country in the world since Antiquity and it is a fake to explained that the colonies made France rich. In fact, to develop a colony is a huge investment and France developped his colonies mainly in reaction to the english expansion. Thank you.

    @@mcm3301 I am very precise about fact and date and: another precision: Toussaint Louverture was a french general and the whole black army was paid by the French Republic and then by Napoleon. It is only when Louverture invaded the spanish part of the isle that Napoleon fired him. 1806, by memory.
