For decades, Haiti has been in turmoil, struggling constantly to find some semblance of normalcy, some sort of economic stability, all the things that come with good governance. For decades, its governments and leaders have been victims of coups, killings and kidnappings. For decades, the country has been home to political unrest, protests and poverty. For decades, generations of Haitians have attempted to flee the land of their birth in hopes of a brighter and better future. And for all those decades, the world, has looked on and all we have really offered them is the sad and pitiful, “Haiti, I’m sorry”.In 2021, Haitians deserve better. We have innocent Caribbean neighbours who long for “normal”. We have people who share the same pigmentation as us who are in need of dire help. “I am sorry” just won’t cut it this toss.
