‘Two hundred years on, ‘the legacy of colonialism’ remains firmly intact in Haiti and across Africa

As the global call for slavery reparations reaches a critical juncture, pressure mounts on former colonial powers to confront their historic wrongs. Amid this reckoning, French President Emmanuel Macron prepares to officially acknowledge France’s 200-year-old extortion of Haiti following its fight for independence. Will recognition lead to reparations? For expert analysis and deeper insight, FRANCE 24’s François Picard is pleased to welcome Pierre Haski, French journalist specialising in geopolitics at France Inter et “Nouvel Obs”, Co-founder of Rue89, author of “Décolonisations africaines” and President of Reporters sans frontières (RSF).

  1. French still Rules it’s former colonies via their wealth through CFA Franc currency (70% have to be kept by France) which all their natural resources have to go thru French companies

  3. Macron is boxing himself and France into a corner. Unless the French have secretly invented magic wands that would make Harry Potter green with envy, Haiti is destined to remain, in the words of The Talking Heads: "Same as it ever was; same as it ever was."
