France is very much a large part of why Haiti is soo dang poor. Get this: France got the government of Haiti to pay "reparations" to France after it was let out of being a colony. Along with the crushing debt, came interest , and i think they finally paid the french off in the mid fifties ! (from weak feeble memory- sorry if i am wrong on the date)
So the small country that depended on agricultural exports was doomed by its imperial power. The country has not had good luck ever

Other than the Medecins san Frontieres, what other even semi french group has lifted a finger to help ?
