French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that historic injustice was imposed on Haiti when it was forced to pay a colossal indemnity to France in exchange for its independence 200 years ago. Macron also announced the creation of a joint French-Haitian historical commission to ‘’examine our shared past” and assess relations, but did not directly address longstanding Haitian demands for reparations. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective, FRANCE 24’s François Picard is pleased to welcome Pierre Haski, French journalist specialising in geopolitics at France Inter et "Nouvel Obs", Co-founder of Rue89, author of “Décolonisations africaines” and President of Reporters sans frontières (RSF).
