A friend (American) who lived in Kenya both before and after independence described how blacks had to learn how to use telephones and such; they have problems, but considering Haiti had a 150 year head start on them the Kenyans did OK.
All the Haitians with firepower left the island years ago. I had a great friend who was a Haitian and world renown in his field. He used to say that he would always kiss his family’s feet for taking him out of Haiti.
And he never wanted to go back.
