It is a moot point because it will probably never happen, but...

I was living in Senegal for 6 months of 2005.
It seems a peaceful but harsh place to live.
It reminds me of Haiti but without the rain which makes Haiti , for the most part, a lush green place.

Most people live in Dakar where there is little work and much poverty.
The countryside is a little more lush than the parched capital but it is tough to farm there compared to Haiti.

Senegal is a secular state but has a heavily Muslim culture - I wonder how Haitians would get on with that aspect. Fine, I would imagine.
I enjoyed being in Senegal, in fact I had a heck of a time but then again I had electricity and drinking water etc.. The good life, as in Haiti, is not available to most people.
