Port Au Prince has been hit by a devastating and cruel earthquake, and finally converted into wreck. But the Haitian drama didn’t start here; rather was going on since time back already to finally render to this final fate.
Haiti will need far more than international assistance; somewhat to be invented again as a new nation, but this would convey a colossal imagination work, apart from a magnificent generous engineering work, a costly state of the art bound to change Haitian society into a new brand one. Of course, this would demand such huge efforts by all nations jointly, only compared to the best fiction literature effort ever outlined by experts.
The bad news is that today’s world isn’t that much prepared for such a big enterprise as we’ll see below. We all know that a continuous deteriorating structural deformation had been going on equally both in Africa and in Haiti, stronger in this latter, a reality being incorporated since a time back, and within its social structure; this associated to a misshapenness that has affected Haiti’s intricate organization.
Such idiosyncrasy and eccentric culture, irreversible in the long term, and only taking place in the typical poor performance of emergent countries like Haiti and Africa, with shattered economy, distress and social troubles. It also has been reflected in this country’s incapability to progress, or start to build up successfully as shows a subsequent drama being present in Africa, not as strong as in Haiti though.
Fidel Castro has been quoted as saying:
“Haiti is a genuine result from malpractice colonization and imperial rule by other countries in the world.”
The point here is about a historic deviation that has taken place in such huge proportion in Haiti, to such extent any remedy or reforms to cope with poverty Haiti’s problems have been useless to now, having to turn to radical solutions like revolutions, already attempted by Haitian leaders since 200 years ago, yet this one being the only revolution started by black slaves ever in mankind history, as well as being the first nation to abolish slavery. Unlike Africa, black people struggled themselves for independence, in Haiti; the only country where blacks took the lead, not to seek understanding or keenness by the white, but trying to organize a national entity in the search of justice instead, so as to overcome colonialism, suppress slavery, no matter what efforts they had to do.

At the end of 18th century, the biggest rebellion ever carried out in the world by any revolutionary outbreak took place in France, a time when half million slaves were brought in from Africa after being hunted like wild animals, then sold and exploited in this French colony, where slave labor was responsible for all sugar, coffee and tobacco harvest that soon relished and enjoyed by European patrons. Ruled by George Washington, the United States existed by this time, in a new country also hit by slavery practice.
American settlers were determined to seek independence, as well as Creoles in Latin America from Spanish dominion, until finally their independence was granted by conservative loyalist England and Spain monarchy which had opposed to this self-government in the colonies. It would be different in Haiti though. A revolution inspired from French Revolution, yet confronted by an outrageous liberalism in France, this Independence was reduced to rubble, as General Leclerc, Napoleon’s brother-in-law, had been sent in to Haiti, and Toussaint Louverture apprehended and chained to his final death after her was set up, making use of conspiracy and fraud in the Metropolis by General Leclerc. America was then independent but had kept ignoring Haitian Republic only to acknowledge its Independence 60 years later.
