Coalition of civil society groups says Paris should return harsh reparations imposed on Caribbean state two hundred years ago
Archived version: https://archive.ph/8bloD
Who would they pay it to?
What did Alexander say on his deathbed?
Probably huuuaaaaarkgargblebargleglargle
It is a genuine question. I’m very in favour of France repaying the “reparations” it forced Haiti pay for refusing to be slaves (wtf), but at the moment how to do that without it falling into the hands of Babekyou or the CIA?
Whoever downvoted you probably isn’t aware of the current political situation.
That was my first thought.
Edit: “They say the money should go to public works in Haiti where a transition council was installed this month in an effort to restore security after a period of devastating violence by armed groups.”
Here is a History with Hilbert that talks about the history of Haiti and how/why they ended up paying France so much money.

It’s a neat video that’s about 35 minutes long.
