While official audited reports are unavailable, as the country lacks any certified accountants, unofficial figures put Haiti’s total foreign aid for 2006 at just US$27.39 (mostly gifts of bananas and sugarcane to the foreign trade rep of its close ally, the Republic of China), placing Haiti at the top of the list of Least Generous Nations on Earth for the 7th straight year, since it took that spot from Ethiopia.
I can’t believe that Haiti beat out the Principality of Sealand for this honor. WTF!
Just curious, but what precisely was the contribution that got them onto the U.S. “coalition of the willing” alongside such military powerhouses as Vanuatu and Palau? One banana and the undoing of the voodoo pins that had been holding back Karl Rove’s sex life?
