On January 1, 1804, ex-enslaved African Jean-Jacques Dessalines officially declared Haiti as an independent nation, bringing an end to a thirteen-year struggle for independence from France! #haiti #ayiti #independenceday #dessalines

This is Chanjman by Emeline Michel. She's sometimes referred to as the Joni Mitchell from #Ayiti, most commonly spelt as #Haiti 🇭🇹. She plays a genre called mizik #rasin "#RootsMusic"; commonly just Rasin nowadays. The genre has changed significantly over the past decades, but has kept its #local character and mix of #rock and #jazz with #African and local elements, plus of course lyrics in #Kreyòl. Admittedly this song is quite modern, and is less obviously syncretic.

El Edo dominicano tiene la potestad soberana de disponer la entrada y salida de extranjeros del territorio nacional, siempre que se haga en respeto de los DDHH, el debido proceso y ...dignidad..."

#Ayiti : En 1791, les esclaves #haïtiens réussissent l’impensable : ils chassent les colons français et fondent un nouveau pays. La #France fera payer cet affront à leurs descendants — en espèces. Le montant payé est resté un mystère, jusqu'à aujourd'hui.
