Can anyone tell me if it is true that as a condition of independence in 1804, Haiti agreed to pay a substantial sum of money to France, on a yearly basis, which continues to this day?
If this is true, why is this not questioned? If this is true, perhaps Wyclef jean could get the attention of Bono and Angelina Jolie, to demand the nullification, the forgiveness of this abhorable condition.

would this not help Haiti significantly?
thoughts, anybody?
