๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท โ€œThe National Bank of Haiti, on which so many hopes were pinned that night, was national in name only. Far from an instrument of Haitiโ€™s salvation, the central bank was, from its very inception, an instrument of French financiers and a way to keep a suffocating grip on a former colony into the next century. Haitiโ€™s central bank was set up by a Parisian bank, Crรฉdit Industriel et Commercial. At a time when the company was helping finance one of the worldโ€™s best-known landmarks, the Eiffel Tower, as a monument to French liberty, it was choking Haitiโ€™s economy, taking much of the young nationโ€™s income back to Paris and impairing its ability to start schools, hospitals and the other building blocks of an independent country. Crรฉdit Industriel, known in France as C.I.C., is now a $355 billion subsidiary of one of Europeโ€™s largest financial conglomerates. But its exploits in Haiti left a crippling legacy of financial extraction and dashed hopes โ€” even by the standards of a nation with a long history of both. Haiti was the first modern nation to win its independence after a slave uprising, only to be financially shackled for generations by the reparations demanded by the French government for most of the 19th century.โ€ ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/20/world/french-banks-haiti-cic.html #IstwaAyisyen #MwaEritajAyisyen (at Eiffel Tower - Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeJzIVdpCh9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
