Every time there has been an effort by the Haitian people to overcome the misery and poverty that comes from 200 years of bitter attacks, really bitter, the U.S. steps in and blocks it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is the destiny of the people of Haiti to suffer.
We have problems which will be addressed by Haitians.
Haiti is in desperate poverty.
When I came in, Haiti was not governed by Haitians anymore. Probably mostly by NGOs. And that has done what to Haiti? It has weakened our institution.
I feel a special connection to Haiti and the Haitian people.
One can't do anything alone in Haiti. Sharing and cooperation are so deeply woven into the culture that sometimes it's hard to have a separate thought.
I think it's really important for Haitians living abroad to go back and help with the development and infrastructure, especially because there are so many international people there.
While Haiti has recently celebrated more than 200 years of independence from French colonial rule, the citizens of the island remain vulnerable to poverty, poor health, and political chaos.
It's time for Haitians to have access to health care. It's time to open our borders to the Haitian diaspora, open our markets to the world. It's time to open our country to potential investors.
Haitians do not need development programs imposed on them by expatriates. Instead, they need help in developing as self-assured persons.
