  History of Haiti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haiti's indigenous Arawak (or Taíno) population suffered near-extinction in the decades after Christopher Columbus's arrival in 1492, in possibly the worst case of the widespread depopulation which followed the first European contact with the Americas.
Although Haiti actively assisted the independence movements of many Latin American countries, the independent nation of former slaves was excluded from the hemisphere's first regional meeting of independent nations, in Panama in 1826, and did not receive U.S. diplomatic recognition until 1862.
In 1987, a constitution was ratified that provides for an elected, bicameral parliament, an elected president that serves as head of state, and a prime minister, cabinet, ministers, and supreme court appointed by the president with parliament's consent.

 Sobaka :: Dossier: Bureaucrat Smarck Michel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
As a former Aristide minister, he was under as much threat from the military as anyone, but was protected by his web of connections as well as the sentiment by the junta that rich men could be useful.
That wasn't enough to save another member of Haiti's elite on Aristide's side, Antoine Izmery, who devoted his family fortune to restoring the deposed priest to power and was executed by paramilitary thug Louis Jodel Chamblain.
Michel's name was floated as one of three potential prime ministers for the post-Aristide era, which led those same usual suspects to suggest that the whole mess in Haiti was the doing of shady (and no doubt hook-nosed) international bankers bleeding the country dry.

 PETER HALLWARD - OPTION ZERO IN HAITI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
[8] Much of Haiti’s subsequent history has been shaped by efforts, both internal and external, to stifle the consequences of this event and to preserve the essential legacy of slavery and colonialism—that spectacularly unjust distribution of labour, wealth and power which has characterized the whole of the island’s post-Columbian history.
What actually began to unfold in Haiti in 2001, in other words, was less ‘a crisis of human rights’ than a low-level war between elements of the former armed forces and the elected government that had disbanded them.
