Can France be Forced to Repay Billions it Looted from Haiti? | Vantage with Palki Sharma 

over $20 trillion has left Africa in the last 30 years alone. we aren't even talking about direct looting here, this is just corruption money going to western tax havens. we get a few billions back in so called aid though lol.

Most of West Africa expelling France is the tribes/countries that originally enslaved their fellow Africans and sold them to the French.

What happens after that?

They become free, France loses a significant amount of income and influence ​@@SunshineFaleasiu

France conquered the shitty parts of Africa to aussage it's pride after losing the Franco-Prussian war. Britain took the choice bits, because it did not want any other European powers to obstruct it's global trade.

The U.S.A rebuilt Haiti several times as did France. Haitians are the reason why Haiti is poor.

They still waiting on the earthquake relief funds from the 2010's. Guess the Clinton's misplaced it🤔😮🫠.

Exactly and TY!!

They took gold in our reserved in 1915 now call US bank..out money started that bank..city bank and more today...yeah USA owed us about half of that money too

What does they own govt owe the people

Haiti was the richest colony, not country. When it became a country disaster started immediately

Haiti is a shithole.

ITS LIKE 1804 OVER AGAIN

😂😂😂 crab mentality. You cant lift your country up so you try to bring countries down. No wonder america like cubans more than hatians.

They owe trillions and 28% of Americas land belongs to Haiti, just like Dominican Republic belongs to Haitians. Ask them to give you the definition of Latin?

This world has an anti black problem, this is why I firmly believe Christ was and is a black man same scriptures told me so anyways!

This mighty island country was made poor by France & Amerikkka. Truth facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haiti was made poor by the same 3 Babylonian countries.

Haïti is poor because instead of working they just whine and cry!

How much of that would go to the Dominican Republic considering Haiti conquered and occupied there side of the island in the past themselves?

the real history is a night mare for the first natives.White just like $$$.Pay day is coming!

Gold and Haiti in the same sentence 😂😂

@@shelv9538northern Haiti is abundant with gold, but nobody talks about it.

Did Citibank make the US govt invade Haiti for gold?

Already done for more than 200 years.

And America who brought the loans and had the people from Haiti paying them.

That is not the only reason why Haiti is poor because even if France pays Haiti the 200 billion dollars that they owe Haiti after that in another 25 years, Haiti and the Haitians, will be back to their familiar ways of fighting and poverty. “You can take a horse to water but you can’t make them drink”.

ridiculous argument. Then the Arabs should pay the Spanish too? You can't change history and play the role of victim for things that ended 200 years ago.

Yeah

They will never but the great thing is Haiti still has more gold in the country. In due time, God will bring it out.

The US has given more than ten times what its worth in donations to the state, and I mean the gold reserves adjusted for inflation, not what it was worth when it was taken

@@Random_Iceberg has it? the US gives aid to other countries, that aid is counted in US dollars, but what is actually given is weapons. Weapons the U.S. built and put their own pricetag on, since it is being given without purchase, the pricetag can be massively overvalued to whatever the U.S. wants. US product, US pricetag, US dollar valuation, and you accept it all as fact at face value without question?

USA is haitis number one financial donor….

Talking about financial support the American people help a lot the government support only %1 go to Haiti the %99 stays in the US the %1 goes to American ONG in Haiti

Both countries already paid to rebuilt Haiti several times. Stop blaming others, build you own damned country and pay your own damned stuff. Seeing Haitians who as a people genocided the French act as if they are owed anything by France makes me sick. If anything France should take back the colony you stole.

Will you, as a Haitian citizen give reparations to the Dominican republic for all the abuses done to it by the Haitian government?

​@@NouveauView Thank you for your comment. I will demonstrate that it is rather the Dominican Republic that has caused harm to Haiti, with the points below: 1. The massacre of Haitians in 1937, known as the Parsley Massacre, where more than 20,000 Haitians were brutally killed by Dominican forces under the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. This horrific event was an act of xenophobic violence and ethnic cleansing perpetrated against Haitians living along the border region. 2. The revocation of citizenship rights in 2013 by the Dominican Constitutional Court, which affected tens of thousands of Dominicans of Haitian descent, rendering them stateless. This ruling retroactively stripped citizenship from individuals born in the Dominican Republic to undocumented Haitian migrants, leaving them vulnerable to deportation and discrimination. 3. Ongoing discrimination and mistreatment of Haitian migrants and their descendants in the Dominican Republic, including reports of labor exploitation, denial of access to education and healthcare, and arbitrary deportation. These systemic injustices perpetuate a cycle of poverty and marginalization among the Haitian community in the Dominican Republic.

@@olguensjoseph3142 None of this happened before Haiti conquered the Santo Domingo, 1. What of the crimes committed by illegal Haitian aliens in the Dominican republic? 2. Immigration reform and border security aren't discrimination, especially when there are very real problems caused by illegal immigration into the Dominican republic from Haiti such as drug and human trafficking. 3. Haiti subjugated and stole from the Dominican republic long before Rafael Trujillo and from what history shows us were just as cruel to the Dominicans as France was to Haiti. Again, If France is to be forced to pay for an event that happened centuries ago Haiti should have to follow that same example.

@@olguensjoseph3142 1)Haiti conquered and subjugated the republic of Santo Domingo long before Rafael Trujillo and from what history has shown, were just as imperialistic and cruel towards the Dominicans as France was towards Haiti, 2. Illegal immigrants aren't a racial group, they're a class of criminal, if illegal immigration is going to occur it's going to mostly occur from countries near the one they've entered. 3. Very real problems are caused in the Dominican republic because of illegal immigrants from Haiti, drug smuggling and human trafficking being two of the biggest problems, Haiti being mistreated at one point doesn't excuse its own abuses of its neighbor, if France is forced to give away money for a long ago event Haiti should do the same.

Well said.

Yep the French killed 20 million people in the Congo alone.

France is a wicked country run by the world's worst criminals.

I think you meant to say stolen resources not free resources.

France invested a lot in its colonies. Roads, buildings, administration, businesses. They were left in those countries when the French left. What have they done with them: they destroyed them in local African wars and/or were taken by local leaders who became rich beyond belief.

@@yeseniah7373 France didn't build any infrastructure in it's colonies. At least Britain built hydro power stations in some of its colonies although they were used for exploitation for example in Uganda where they mined Copper, tin and Iron ore in the1950s.

@@BranMan10 one word western Europeans, cow stays a cow everywhere he go.

Well said, chillout. It's a chilling thing you said. 1-Reparations must be made or paid for said amount (200 Bn) or its actual equivalent. 2- Yes, not in cash as you justly put it. It'd just be another Petro-Caribe disaster, FNE disaster, both highway robberies, and other similar thefts perpetrated and observed from earthquakes assistance to any other form of so-called AID or assistance or fund (FMI comes to mind), all, of international and domestic origins and collusions. 3- Half of that money 💰 would never make it to the country. And from the other half that reaches our shore, only 1 or 2% would actually be accounted for. The other 48%? Embezzled, swallowed up. 40% of it would go directly into the corrupted system and 8% into fake projects that would never be actualized, aka dilapidated as well, scammed. Yes, having France or better an independent "corps", "body" or party (if there is such a thing), and not associated in any shape or form with either France or any Haitian gov, to play supervisor, manager, overseer etc of rebuilding projects and chantiers of economic and technological developments (infrastructures and superstructures, education, agriculture, fishing, farming, energy (air, water, electricity), science (Architecture, engineering and medecine), tourism (import/"export" more importantly) and the big one, and that one would be new: Mining technology. Nationalized mining for oil and mining for special rocks and minerals. Alas, while there surely are better and more educated ideas out there, if France and /or the US, UK, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, were to humble themselves to a moral debt but also to accept financial responsibility and make reparations, to Haiti in particular. They might have had to do that as well to most of their former colonies in Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas and Caribbean, whose blood they suck and riches they lifted, a kind trade for stole. Ps: Constitutional reforms should also take place in order to guarantee lands to Haiti to Haitians of Haitian (African/Taino) ancestry not to discourage or limit international unions but to protect and ensure natuoonal ownership of the nation's lands and resources as well as ancestral integrity.

The money can go directly to the Haitian people. The corrupt government that you're talking about are put in place by your government to do what they are doing.
