Do you think France should pay restitution to Haiti? Why?

It's been more than 200 years since Haiti gained its independence from France. Haiti was forced to pay France 150 million francs for official recognition of its independence. This was imposed by King Charles X of France in 1825.

This "independence debt" became a crushing burden that crippled Haiti's economy for more than a century, draining resources that could have been used for development and stability.
