Haiti

Haiti is a country located in the western part of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, bordering the Dominican Republic, with its capital in Port-au-Prince. As the first independent black republic in the Western Hemisphere (1804), its history has been marred by colonial oppression and political turmoil. The economy is predominantly agricultural, relying on exports such as coffee and mangoes, but has long been challenged by high poverty rates, poor infrastructure and natural disasters (such as the devastating 2010 earthquake), making it one of the world's least developed countries. Culturally, French and Haitian Creole coexist, voodoo and Catholicism are fused, and the unique compas music and dances highlight the national character. Currently, Haiti is still seeking a path to development through reconstruction and social stabilization supported by international assistance.
