Actually, Haiti's debt to France and Haitian debts to others are two separate issues. There have been multiple campaigns for debt forgiveness in Haiti. The point is that if France can't agree that it owes Haiti the money that was extorted not so long ago, then perhaps they would agree to forgive any current debt that Haiti directly owes to France. Rather than paying back the 150 million francs in today's dollars (which will never happen).

To miss the connection between the crippling debt payments the Haitian government makes every year and the under development of the Haitian economy is naive.
