Haiti’s Inconsistence versus Civilization Standards
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 and finally render to this final fate.
Haiti will need far more than international assistance; somewhat to be invented again as a new nation. This would convey a colossal imagination work, apart from a magnificent generous engineering work, and a costly state of the art bound to change Haitian society. 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 both in Africa and in Haiti equally, stronger in this latter, a reality incorporated since time ago within Haiti's social structure. To make matters worse, a misshapenness has affected Haiti's intricate organization.
Their idiosyncrasy and eccentricies only occurring in typical poor emergent countries with shattered economies and social troubles, have been reflected in their incapability to progress and build up successfully, adrama always 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.”
Any remedy or reforms to carry out and cope with Haiti's problems have been useless to now, thus having to turn to radical solutions like a revolution, one already attempted by Haitian leaders 200 years ago, yet this one the only revolution started by black slaves ever, and the first nation to abolish slavery.
Unlike Africa, in Haiti black people struggled on their own for independence, the only country where blacks took the lead, not to seek understanding or keenness by the white, but trying to organize a better national entity in the search of justice instead, thus overcoming colonialism, suppress slavery.

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 a 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 already existed by this time, in a new country also hit by slavery practice though. 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 opposed to this kind of self-government in the colonies.
It would be different in Haiti, where a revolution inspired from French Revolution occurred, yet confronted by an outrageous liberalism in France. This Independence attemp 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.
