Haiti to Join the African Union

aneverythingcreated:

Already holding the distinction of being the world’s first free Black republic, Haiti has made another first as it prepares to become the African Union’s first member state that is not actually on the physical continent of Africa.

Haiti attended the most recent African Union International Conference of Heads of State and Government, held in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, as a member observer, but surprised delegates with the announcement that Haiti would seek full associate membership with the 54-member bloc.

I wish I knew enough about Haiti to understand more the significance of this… Oh well, someday :)
