Haiti, economic history & development, technology, random stuff. Born and raised in Cap-Haïtien. Currently wandering in Africa.
Real Estate is not the only expensive product in African cities. The reason behind it also explain why basic manufacturing struggles on the continent: high energy and labor costs, bad and costly logistics. Infrastructure issues can explain costly energy and logistics. But why is…

Fun fact: The Africa Cup of Nations football tournament is on now More players were born in that red part of France than in any single African country partaking in the Cup
Too many Africans still believe the myth that their countries are SO rich in natural resources, if they were just honestly managed, there'd be prosperity for all. Yet, no African country is in the top ten in terms of natural resource wealth👇 But look at likes of China, Canada…
Richest Countries by Natural Resource Value 💰 1. 🇷🇺 Russia – $75 Trillion 2. 🇺🇸 USA – $45 Trillion 3. 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia – $34 Trillion 4. 🇨🇦 Canada – $33 Trillion 5. 🇮🇷 Iran – $27 Trillion 6. 🇨🇳 China – $23 Trillion 7. 🇧🇷 Brazil – $22 Trillion 8. 🇦🇺 Australia – $20 Trillion 9. 🇮🇶…
La vista satelital de Kinshasa es una auténtica locura. La capital de la RD Congo, una de las ciudades más grandes de África, tiene una población de 18 millones de habitantes, y no para de crecer. La megaciudad se fusiona con la selva generando estas espectaculares imágenes.…

Interview with Leslie Delatour
Critics call him "the AIDS of the Haitian economy," but the new finance minister is just slashing away at barriers to development.
Haiti's last source of exports and formal jobs takes a blow: msn.com/en-us/money/ma…

Far from recovering or even stabilizing, the Cuban tourism sector continues to get worse Even Russian tourism (which Cuba was trying to stimulate) is down compared to last year In first trimester of 2025 (tourism season) 75% of hotel capacity was left empty. Abysmal
Almost every city in Sub-Saharan Africa is mostly low-rise, whereas almost every city in Asia and North Africa is mostly dense mid-rise. Why is this?
I don’t want to cry about a building when so many Haitians are being killed & raped.. unless the building brings attention to the killings & rapes

Oloffson terrace. Waiting for dinner. Here’s to Dieuse and Errold and Denise and all the others who worked here and were part of visitors’ lives. And to the late Alix Toyo and the late Milfort Brino who helped guide hapless hacks around the capital city.
The Hotel Oloffson has burned to the ground.. Port au Prince, Haiti
