What happened? find the cause and let's reverse the process

Response:
If I understand well what happened is that in the early 80s CARICOM
countries (British isles) have complained that the US was keeping the
Haitian economy stable and that they wanted the same treatment or let
this poor country deal witrh its problem. This let to a chain of events
that leads us to where we are now.
Again that is MY understanding of the events.
