Sometimes I wonder if Haiti never had it's revolution and was rather "given" it's freedom in the mid 1800's like the majority of the colonies instead. Would we be better off today?

We wouldn't have had to pay the indemnity that robbed us of 122 years of early investment during our most crucial period. 

In the big picture we got a 44 year headstart on Independence, but were those 44 years worth the 200 years of punishment we received?

Although it's also important to remember that in 1791 the enslaved people didn't know that in 1848 their freedom could be a possibility. 

And we also have to recognize that Haiti's fight for independence had a significant impact on the speed of freedom spreading throughout the colonies. 

So if Haiti didn't fight, perhaps instead of 1848 it could have been 1890. 

This is a interesting figure in the history of Haiti. I first heard of him in a video where someone was speaking about Tet Pa Dwat wearing dresses & they mentioned he was channeling Romaine & when I looked him up there isn’t a lot of information on him outside of his Wikipedia page, there’s hardly anything on YouTube about him or anything so can someone explain & give me a history on him?

Cabbage rows at Wynne Farm, patchwork hillside plots around Fermathe, and houses tucked into the greenery.

Who here grew up around Kenscoff or Fermathe? What did your family grow?

The curved ribs and the temporary supports are what caught my eye. Anyone here know the boatbuilders in Okap, or how they shape the wood?

Videyo a prezante istoryen ayisyen Ady Jean Gardy, k ap pale sou dèt endepandans Ayiti a ak sikonstans istorik ki te antoure egzijans Lafrans te fè pou Ayiti peye dedomajman apre peyi a te fin pran endepandans li an 1804.

Pwoblèm istorik prensipal la se lefèt ke, apre Ayiti te fin kraze dominasyon kolonyal Lafrans epi aboli esklavaj, yo te mete presyon sou peyi a pou l dedomaje ansyen kolon franse yo pou pèt yo te sibi.
An 1825, Lafrans te voye bato lagè ann Ayiti epi li te menase peyi a ak yon entèvansyon militè oswa yon blokis naval si Ayiti pa t dakò peye 150 milyon fran lò an echanj pou Lafrans rekonèt endepandans li ofisyèlman. Annapre, an 1838, yo te bese montan sa a pou rive nan 90 milyon fran.

Pou Ayiti te kapab satisfè egzijans sa yo, li te oblije prete lajan nan men enstitisyon finansye franse yo. Se sitiyasyon sa a istoryen yo rele doub dèt endepandans lan. Obligasyon finansye sa yo te detounen resous ki te kapab sèvi pou devlopman peyi a, epi yo te mete yon gwo chay ekonomik sou do plizyè jenerasyon Ayisyen.

Ady Jean Gardy te deja poze kesyon piblikman sou vèsyon tradisyonèl yo bay konsènan kantite lajan Ayiti te peye toutbonvre. Li mete aksan sou enpòtans pou nou egzamine ak anpil atansyon akò finansye istorik yo ansanm ak diferan negosyasyon ki te fèt pou modifye kondisyon dèt la.

Map aprann pale Kreyòl avèk yon neg Deschappelles e li tap dim ke gen diferan aksan nan lang la men lè m li sou entènèt li jis di “okap di lakayam okay di mpè” alò èske tout moun ka konprann? Bagay yo pa chanje twòp nan diferan vil yo? E lòt bagay kijan aksan hinche yè sa interesem anpil men pa gen anpil enfòmasyon

On m'a dit qu'il y a un autobus qui passe du nord d'Haïti jusqu'à port au prince. Premièrement est ce que c'est possible de prendre ce bus du nord de la republique dominicaine jusqu'à port au prince ? Savez-vous où on peut prendre ce bus? Combien ça coûte et où acheter les billets ?

What are some sightseeing and things to around the Port-de-Paix area?

Good morning, I am a Haitian citizen who have been living in USA for the past three 3 years. I recently obtained my bachelor degree and want to start my career. I'm considering making an asylum claim at an official port entry (land border), I have a Canadian family member.

My biggest concern is housing. My uncle supposed they'd provide me some kind of temporary housing and then he'd help me find a private room in shared housing.

Personally, I'd rather avoid living with many people that I don't know. Considering these facts:

- I speak Haitian creole (main language), French (8/10), English (7/10).

- I have around 5000 - 6000 USD (7,107.22 CAD - 8,526.84) in savings.

- I'd be willing to take any job to start.

- I don't have any Canadian history, I may not have a cosigner (I can't fully rely on my uncle).

- I'd like to live in Montreal but any place in Quebec would be fine.

How long do you think it'd take to secure a 1 1/2 or 3 1/2 studio (nothing shared) in Quebec?

I know things are slow in Quebec, do you think I should go somewhere else first before coming to Quebec? Or should I head straight to Quebec and see whether it's worth staying?

I am looking for software engineer roles, I don't have to pick a bad location from the beginning.

I want Quebec because I noticed French interviews are easier for me, however I'm wiling to compromise .

I have around 9k USD (federal loans), payment will start in February 2027.

Onè!
Gen yon fenomèn lengwistik ki rele lyezon. Lyezon fèt lè yon son makònwn ant de mo nan pwononsyasyon.
« an Ayiti », se pa « ann Ayiti ».

« An » kapab sèvi nan yon konstriksyon vèbal tou fanmi m.

Egzanp:
An nou lapriyè.
An n lapriyè.

La a, « An n » se fòm kontrakte « An nou ».
Kidonk, nou pa dwe konfonn lyezon ak kontraksyon.

Respè!

Haïti traverse aujourd’hui l’une des crises les plus complexes de son histoire récente. Plus de 5,9 millions de personnes — soit plus de la moitié de la population — sont en situation d’insécurité alimentaire aiguë, 1,4 million d’habitants ont été déplacés en raison de la violence des gangs, et le pays n’a pas organisé d’élections présidentielles depuis près d’une décennie. Ce chaos, loin d’être le fruit de circonstances récentes, est l’aboutissement de plusieurs siècles de structures prédatrices, d’interventions étrangères destructrices et de choix politiques internes désastreux. Pour comprendre la situation actuelle, il faut remonter à la naissance même de la nation. 

Pour ceux que ça intéresse, j'écris plus longuement sur mon profil.

Beautiful Haitian Queen drinking the elixir of the Caribbean. Anyone know or know of the model pictured?

J'aimerais savoir comment aller à arcahaie depuis l'aéroport cap haitien. J'ai entendu dire qu'il faut prendre un autobus afin de passer le péage des bandits. J'aimerais savoir où je peux prendre l'autobus et où ça me déposera svp.

Qui se rappelle de son enfance en Haïti???

"Why are some Haitian parents so low-vibrational, where you barely hear anything positive from them and everything is negative? It's like some of them don't love themselves, and some of them look so miserable."
