Jean-Jacques Dessalines, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The outgoing president released on Sunday, Jan. 31, 2016, a ong jeering at his critics, primarily an award-winning female journalist and human rights advocate. The released track called “Bal Bannann Nan”, Haitian Creole for “Give Them the Banana.” It’s credited to Sweet Micky, the stage name for Haiti's pop-star-turned-president.
