2011: Haiti, 2 years later
Two years ago, a devastating earthquake ravaged Portau-Prince, Haiti’s capital, and surrounding areas. We all remember the images relayed by the media and social networks around the world. There is no need to revisit the accumulated destruction and suffering. Dark memories. Presented by some as an opportunity «to rebuild Haiti better», the tragedy has served as a mirror of the poverty already present on the ground before the earthquake in a country marked by political patronage, without real education, without access to care for most, the poorest, who were already living on less than 1 to 2 dollars a day per person: a country already dependent on international assistance.
