Haiti's history of exploitation and corruption, including the US-orchestrated bank robbery in 1914, foreign intervention, and oppressive ruling elites, has led to its current state of anarchy and poverty. Despite once symbolizing the possibilities of human emancipation, Haiti now faces a complete rupture between its governing class and the governed, with power effectively held by foreign ambassadors and a parallel state of NGOs and private companies.
