The loss of Jean Michel Daudier, who recorded his songs not only in French and English, but in the native Creole, should be a great one if his contributions to the prevalent cause of the time, the tyrannical reign of Baby Doc, were to be quantified. He found fame that he could not claim when his 1986 recording, 'Lem pa we soley la' became a sort of anthem for three generations, and his other works were recorded in a 1997 book entitled, 'A day for the Hunter, A Day for the Prey'

The government is proudly spending over $6 million on a project to paint houses in the city that, among its many problems, is cut through by a massive fault line, poses a danger to its citizens and those in the village below it because of its propensity for dangerous mudslides, and has a serious clean water deficit. A survey of the inhabitants shows that, rather than a paint job, they would prefer, almost unanimously, to have new schools for their children.

Haitian Governments have always suffered the charge of wasting money on unworthy projects. It seems that the Martelly/Lamothe Administration is bent on adding their name to the roster with the Jalousie in Colors program that would paint make-up on a slaughtered pig. While ill-conceived when one thinks of the various other forms of help the people of Jalousie need, the aesthetic make-over is in tribute of deceased Haitian painter, Préfète Duffaut.

The difference in living standard as well as cultural contribute to the long-standing Haitian-Dominican conflict.

The difference between the two nations started during the coliniazation period,

they shaped their history totally different one from another

Another major differenc id the language. Haiti was colonized by the French and therefore adopted the Frenche language

Dominican Republic for its part had the Spanish influence and speaks Spanish.

Economically, the two countries were ranked at equal footing during the mid twenty century, the Dominican economy grew while that of Haiti decreased due to political and economic policy differences

Before Boniface Alexandre became the President, he was an honest, competent Supreme Court Chief Justice in a judicial system fraught with corruption. When President Aristide fled the country, he took charge as the President of the country under the constitution. Despite his declaration that he was in charge, Haitian constitution called for approving his appointment by the Parliament. Further, his appointment was unapproved by the legislature because the lawmakers' terms had expired much before in the beginning of that year. Alexandre was raised by his uncle, former Haitian Prime Minister Martial Célestin. He joined Court of Appeals in 1980s and in 1990, became a member of the 12 Supreme Court before he was appointed as the Chief Justice about a decade later.

Boniface Alexandre was a Haitian President from 2004 to 2006. He removed his predecessor, President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, by a Haitian coup d'état in 2004. Boniface Alexandre was the Chief Justice of the Haitian Supreme Court when President Aristide was removed on 29 February 1904. Thus, by virtue of his office Boniface Alexandre was in the normal line of succession to become the President and in fact, he assumed the charge in a brief ceremony within a few hours of President Aristide's resignation. During his presidency, Amnesty International accused his government on misbehavior, maltreatment and extreme untoward use of police force. Alexander was replaced by René Préval in February 2006 presidential election.

Anthony Simon as a President of the country in 1909 realized the role of modernity, technology and industrialization in a country's development. He understood how a good railway network can hasten the economic growth in Haiti. During his time, velocipede (early bicycles having pedals attached to the front wheel) became popular, people attended movie shows, gramophone, telephone, sewing machine, and camera became common objects in wealthy families..... In short, the country silently entered the age of modernity.

It was his opinion that export revenue from "fig banana" would be enough to finance his dream railway project between Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haitien. The government of Anthony Simon raised a loan of 65 million francs in France on abusive terms to finance his railway project. His critics complained of serious diplomatic and financial difficulties and warned of the threat that the Americans may invade Haiti in pretext of earlier McDonald's contract (that contained massive dispossession of land). In reality, most of President Simon's plans were some forms of utopia that never materialized in his lifetime in the beginning of the last century. His plans created more evils than good. To satisfy American planters, Haitian banana growers were taxed, electrification and paving of the streets increased the import bill through increased number of imported cars.

President Antoine Simon played dangerous gamble with Haitian economy and placed it in either win or ruin in debt for generations situation. The loan costs heavy obligations to the poor Haitians who paid with their pocket until the last penny. In 1972 Luckner Cambronne, a high-ranking political figure in François Duvalier's regime said the country did not need any railway and he systematically dismantled the railway track between Port-au-Prince and St. Marc. Here is how the incredible adventure of railway that cost so much tears and blood of the unfortunate Haitians ends.

The 18th Haitian President François C. Antoine Simon was born on October 10, 1843. As a President, his first and most important policy decision was to introduce an appeasement policy that allowed many exiled Haitians to return homeland. He realized that Haiti can be self sufficient only if the agricultural production of sugar and banana can be increased and export can be boosted. He understood the necessity of infrastructural connectivity through railway network. But unfortunately his dream never materialized due to lack of sponsor. Because, his poorly prepared negotiation agreement with the foreign financiers had many conditional issues on repayment which were unattractive to the bankers. In contrast, his plans instead of bringing benefits created more evils--to satisfy American planters, Haitian banana growers were taxed; electrification and paving of the streets of the capital city increased the import bill through increased number of imported cars. The political unrest became so serious that his once minister, General Cincinnatus Leconte, took advantage of the situation and lead a coup d'état against him. The General succeeded on his second attempt to oust President Simon from power.
