The article numbers some basic facts related to Haiti, however it fails to mention the role that France and the US played in Haiti's history. It is not information that can be overlooked, as Haiti had to pay "reparations" to France for they freedom which is absolutely ridiculous, while the US occupied Haiti by force during 19 years. Both pieces of information are crucial to understand why Haiti has never been able to surge as a stable country. I mean, the country did not become the poorest in America just because, and violent and abusive interventions of major world powers over developing countries should never be overlooked.
