This is a simplistic take. Haiti has been buffeted by serious internal political forces which have negatively effected its growth trajectory and stopped it from having a viable economy.

To blame it purely on France enforcing the debt is missing a fair amount of Haitian politics. It's not it wasn't a factor but it's way more complicated than just France bleeding Haiti dry.
