Twou manti pa fon. Istwa k ap sikile sou zonbi Okap lan radyo, lan teledyòl, sou entènèt, lan jounal, istwa sa a pa gen yon may verite ladan. Istwa a chita sou lejann peyi a ki soti lan esklavaj Franse te met sou pye. Lafrans te enpòte apeprè yon milyon Afriken ann Ayiti pandan 100 ane. Li touye 700,000. Yon kokennchenn krim konsa pa ta ka fèt pou sa pa ta kite mak sou desandan viktim yo. Se sa nou konnen fanmi nou te pase ki rakonte lan kont moun tire sou zonbi. Bay kou bliye, pote mak sonje. Istwa zonbi a se istwa pote mak ki fidèl a istwa peyi a. Se sa k fè se sou bitasyon zonbi travay. Yo travay la paske se la menm gran grann nou te redi anba makak.

There is a rumor going around about zombies in Cap Haitian. Although false, the story is spreading by word of mouth, and getting attention on the radio, on the internet, and in newspapers. Before examining the rumor, it ‘s important to recognize that the zombie allegory is one that evolved from the history of Haiti as a nation founded from the wreckage of enslavement. Over the course of 100 years, the French imported nearly 1 million Africans to the territory and they killed at least 700,000 of them. A crime of this magnitude could not have occurred without scarring the descendants of its victims. Our fore-parents worked on plantations and were whipped by the landowners: this became the basis for the zombie allegory.
