Reminder to check on your Haitian family members who are Football fans lol.

I'm personally just hate watching Argentina from here on out and will support France as they're the best team that could beat them.

I'm Polish and I've been living in the Dominican Republic for 3 years now. A while back I learned that Napoleon sent Polish troops to Saint-Domingue to help crush the Haitian Revolution — but many of them ended up switching sides and fighting alongside the Haitians instead.

Some of their descendants reportedly still live in Haiti today, in a village called Cazale, where locals are known to have lighter skin and blue or green eyes because of that history.

I mentioned this to a few Haitian people I've met here in the DR, and none of them had heard about it before. It made me really curious how well-known this part of history actually is among Haitians themselves versus how it's remembered (or not) elsewhere.

Does anyone here know more about this? Is it a well-known story in Haiti, or is it something that's mostly forgotten too?

We were told elections in Haiti were supposed to take place earlier this year but as we know there still hasn’t been any mention of elections so far… The PM and transitional government as we know of it now is still intact. Has there been any update with the new aid of the Chadians who are in place of the current mission in Haiti who replaced the Kenyans earlier this year when their contract expired.

Hola, soy mexicano y estoy atento a las noticias de seguridad de Haití. Quería que me explicaran más acerca de la pandilla 5 segond, y que tan peligrosa es. Si alguien de acá es de Vilaj de dye estaría bien que me explicara, y si no, pues no hay problema obviamente si es de otro lugar de Haití. Me interese más sobre el tema cuando vi que EEUU fijó una recompensa por Izo, que creo que es su líder. Gracias.
