I know Creole is also an official language in Haiti, but I am saying it should be the only official language. I think you hit the problem in the head. How successful can a country be when the people representing the people, the people creating the la > >

Sabine, I agree with everything you said except for the part where you said french should not be one of the official language of Haiti. And it is true that perhaps over 90% percent of Haitians are not really fluent in french but not everybody in a co > >

Sabine, This is the dumbest and moronic argument that I have ever heard. Last time I checked Haiti was occupied by the United States for 34 years and Haitians did not end up speaking English. For those of you who ademently believe that French a > >

Sabine, Where did I ever mentioned South Africa in my message? And since when Haitians wanted to have Haiti to become like south Africa? This is news to me! I am showing my frustration and dismay with Haitians who keep hiding behind all kind of > >

You keep saying Haitians are incompetent. But most Haitians do pretty well once they leave Haiti. We have Haitians in politics, running businesses, directing hospitals and doing many more exciting things outside of Haiti. What is the difference betwe > >
