"An interesting observation from the map showing the Haiti election  results,
is that even though there are officially eleven departments of  Haiti, only
ten
are shown with results or space for them. Sorely missing is  the so called
Department of "Outre Mer" more appropriately known as the  Diaspora."

The Diaspora has always been called the 10th Department.  Now I  see there
are 10 official departments, not counting the Diaspora.  When was  Grande Anse
split up into Grande Anse and Nippes?
