'200 Years Later: Colonialism’s Lasting Impact Still Strong in Haiti and Africa'

The French President, Emmanuel Macron, stated on Thursday that historical injustice occurred when Haiti was required to pay France an enormous sum as part of the price for its independence, two centuries ago. Macron further announced the establishment of a joint commission between France and Haiti, aimed at studying their shared history and evaluating their relationship. However, he did not specifically address the ongoing Haitian demands for reparations. To gain more in-depth analysis and a more nuanced perspective, FRANCE 24’s François Picard is delighted to welcome Pierre Haski, a French journalist specializing in geopolitics with France Inter et “Nouvel Obs”, co-founder of Rue89, author of “Décolonisations africaines,” and President of Reporters sans frontières (RSF).
