Funding a decent housing model and adequate infrastructure in rural areas would save us from this demographic, ecological and urban disaster that is this Port-au-Prince monster. The great miserly and budget-eating snake that is the capital has been dying since January 2010. At this stage, this security crisis offers us the great possibility of finally cutting off the head of the monster and giving a chance to this Haiti of the other 9 departments to recover. develop properly and with dignity!
Indeed, the present arnachitic situation that the capital is experiencing offers us once again, the enormous opportunity that we missed in the aftermath of the earthquake of January 12, 2010. Replanning and redeveloping the national territory is a primordial and unconditional priority for the reconstruction and the development of the country. We must let Port-au-Prince perish in its physical and political components. The administrative, economic and geographical model that we inherited has come to an end. The capital of corrupt administrative centralization that is Port-au-Prince, today, which has become Port-au-Diable, must be dismantled in its political and demographic dimensions.
Four million souls live in an urban space full of slums and obsolete neighborhoods. A disastrous urban area made up of deserted streets where tons of rubbish reign supreme over outdated, decaying infrastructure. Above all, we must not return to these old “drill and stick” strategies! Let the inhabitants of this ghost town, in the majority, return to their provincial towns of origin. Through this new transition, let the State take legal and financial measures to decentralize the Country and implement a real economic development plan focused on the real potential of provincial towns in the regions.
The rich families of Haiti who never stop playing in the fire of social discrimination, always withdrawing from the middle of the common people and the masses abandoned to gangs, finally know the taste of stupid management of the city. Why always want to be kings and queens in a cemetery? The villas in the suburbs of Pétionville and the residences on the heights of Turgeau and Kenscoff are no longer fortresses. The price of saving one’s life in a private helicopter could have been invested in the rural environment. Which would give a decent job and housing to a rural family who would not need to come and survive in the subhuman conditions of the bloodied capital.
It is time that we realize that our selfish choices have been suicidal. During 38 years of democracy, the State and the Haitian elites have grown a monster. We have dug the graves of a starving people in an urban space made up of precariousness and organized crime of which only the elites of Port-au-Prince know the secret. How to convert in 30 years, a capital into an open-air cemetery whose zombies never stop adding to the dust of the cul-de-sac plain, the muddy waters of Martissant and the tons of rubbish of Petion-ville?
