If a proposal under consideration by the African Union this week were to bear fruit, Haitians made homeless by the earthquake could start afresh in a new homeland in Africa.
African Union (AU) President Jean Ping yesterday announced that the idea of resettling displaced Haitians in Africa would be part of the AU’s formal agenda during its annual summit this week. According to Mr Ping, Haiti’s history as a creation of the slave trade and the world’s first black republic creates a special obligation for African Union members.
