Check out this short video from US news in 1975 on Haiti under Baby Doc (and part 2, here). It's amazing how Baby Doc's men could lie so easily about corruption, as well as the obvious continuities of the 'cruel' Papa Doc and the tonton under Baby Doc. Again, one sees how the economic goals of Baby Doc are remarkably similar to the Collier Report and Martelly's administration. Anyway, just ignore some of the glaring historical errors (Henri Christophe forced a quarter million ex-slaves to build the Citadel!).
