Whenever the genocides in Africa start to become a national talking point it gets suppressed because Europe doesn't want to pay reparations to Africans or deal with the implications of the mass atrocities coming from the "good" governments that predated the fall into fascism.
The French essentially forced the Haitians to pay them for freeing themselves - French slaveowners demanded that they be compensated for "lost property" i.e. emancipated slaves. Aristide estimated it to be $21 billion in today's dollars and asked the French to pay it back. The French won't even consider it.
