I don’t understand where all the money went to help the people? I mean looking from a far the island seems as worse as it ever has. It’s a damn crime.

mclumber1 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 It's so sad. I don't think there is a single country or organization that could turn things around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money went into the hands of the island's elite and is now sitting in bank accounts in Miami, the Cayman Islands, and Switzerland. Haiti Is on the Brink of State Failure FOREIGNPOLICY.COM From criminal gangs to elite corruption, cascading ills are almost entirely homegrown.

There isn't. And it can all be traced back to how the country was treated in the aftermath of its revolution. I cannot urge strongly enough for people to listen to the Haitian Revolution episodes of Mike Duncan's "Revolutions" podcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
