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.
