Jean Pierre, Bel Nomm Kreol, Your frustration is shared and understood.

As you may know my father was a Duvalierist rouge and I grew up under that system, mainly Jean Claude's. Duvalier, the father, I know about him only from second hand information from family members and books.

My Dad worshiped Francois Duvalier and Dad's money allowed me to have a higher education learning from France.

I feel compelled to apologize for that system knowing that I indirectly benefited from it. By the same token, I am not blind by its imperfections.

Francois Duvalier did what he had to do to keep power for life and transfer power to his son in order to keep his legacy alive.

Today, I believe we are talking about the plot of the Haitian people at large.

If I did not know any better, I would have thought that you are a Republican, a politically conservative man: "GET RAID OF THE UNDESIRABLES".

The Undesirables are us. I know you don't mean our exterminations.

Africa shares the same political plight with Haiti and I think you know why:Same effects, same causes.

Do you think countries in Africa with rich natural resources like oil and Diamonds should be poor?

Think again about why they are poor.
It is exasperating though to see people like Arnel Belizaire made it as a successful politician to a degree and a president elected official like Michel Martelly is having a hard time with Parliament...

Parliament needs to be disbanded and thrown away. Martelly needs to reconstruct the Haitian constitution.

Martelly is not perfect but he at least is moving forward with time. His only crime was NOT to promise a revival of the Haitian Army right away. I believe the old Army has the right to some financial compensation for past due benefits.

Anyway, my beautiful brother, Africa is the next best stop. The other continents have been destroyed and over populated.

Africa will be hot and up coming pretty soon.
The question is: Will Black Africans benefit from the upsurge?

That remains to be seen. Stay tuned.
