Wow, Gary! Chapo ba et un grand bravo for a story well told. You leave it to the reader to come to conclusions and that suits this reader just fine. Your effort speaks more to the realities of the current predicament that the home nation (Haiti) and its Diaspora face today--we alone in the Diaspora do not have the answer. The transformation of Haiti must happen from within its own core and radiate through its Diaspora. The transformation that will require accountability, setting aside ego and selfish (albeit at times foolish) foolish pride must be enjoined by both Haitians in Haiti and those in the Diaspora who want to reconnect and contribute. First, let's laugh ensemble at the Barbancourt-inspired hyperbole: "Haitians are the Haitians of the Caribbean!"
Nou led, nou la.
