I was reading an article in the New York Times following the second anniversary of the assassination of President Jovenel Moise and, in the article, the reporter made reference to a new opportunity that presents whereby the relationship between the US and Haiti can be reset.

I hate to admit it but he hasn't been that long since people, US citizens were protesting in the streets of America screaming black lives matter.

Haiti is in reality TV mode, all our problems are right out front for everyone to see. Can we compare ourselves to the Dominican Republic who is promoting tourism and hiding the fact that their country is infested with crime and corruption?

The Dominican Republic is in the process of nation-building.

Haiti, unfortunately, is in self-destruct mode.
