The primary benefit for Haiti in joining the AU will be the economic ties.
“Haiti wants to develop a lot of industries, tourism one of them,” said Pierre-Pierre, a former New York Times reporter. “I think there are a lot of opportunities for commerce, for raw materials that are plentiful in Africa.”
It works both ways.
“As Africa develops industries it will be looking for markets, and Haiti will be one of them,” said Pierre-Pierre.
Beyond the economic ties that bind, joining the AU is for most Haitians a symbolic step — the union
has been discussed for several years. Pierre-Pierre thinks that in 20 years, Haitians will look back on the decision and say, “What a brilliant move this was. What took it so long?”
Haiti, a Caribbean country, is joining the African Union
...............................still need them reparations
Of course, I forgot that Africa is trying to develop its industries like China did post-Cold War. And now China is looking for markets i.e Africa. China develops Africa's industries while becoming a service nation(like the USA), and once Africa becomes like China now(developed industries but not yet service nation), the next step is looking for markets. And who better such as a Caribbean country like Haiti? My only issue is the very corrupt politicians and leaders in Haiti.
