Ann Pale through the years
At the beginning, lest we forget, we had Windows on Haiti, released on April 22 1998, a hub of information and opinions which fostered among its users a spirit of solidarity and friendship, for the most part.

Re: EN 2050, L’AFRIQUE SERA PLUS RICHE QUE L’EUROPE
Une bonne entrevue qui fait sortire beaucoup de points qui s'appliqueraient à Haïti également. Je dirais que l'Afrique a toujours été plus riche que l'Europe. Cependant son exploitation à outrance n'aurait pas laissé sa richesse se quantifier de cette manière. Bon, j'attends vos commentaires dans n'...
