But the so-called compensation France was demanding was over 10 times Haiti’s annual budget. It took Haiti 122 years to repay the debt – which is estimated to be up to $135B in current value. Haitians have been calling for reparations for years, but France has so far failed to agree to any compensation and only announced a joint commission with Haiti to “build a more peaceful future.” #Haiti #France #Macron #History #Slavery #Hispaniola #Reparations #Justice Thu, 09 Apr 2026 09:03:23 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube In 1825, France announced it would only recognize Haiti, the world’s ... https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/b7719d59-6956-4192-82b0-8b432448dc85 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
