Summary

The analysis on Haiti tend to focus on violence, which it would justify the presence of the world's third-largest UN peacekeeping mission. However, despite Earthquake, the corruption of political and judicial institutions, Haiti is one of the least dangerous places in the Caribbean region, according to the UN in his latest homicide statistics.

Probably, one of the greatest disasters, actually in the country, is the cholera epidemic, which it has killed nearly 7000 people.

In addition, after the Earthquake of two years ago, international donors pledged more than $5bn for Haiti’s recovery, but today the authorities negotiate for less than half.

Has been said that “Haiti is open for business”, privilege, for example, the construction of a new five-star hotel near the airport and not the reconstruction of nearly 80,000 houses damaged after earthquake.

Among other things, has been developed a textile manufacturing business, driven by the U.S., which it has taken a captive labour force of 70% unemployment and its low cost. Also, has been developed a highly lucrative private security industry for humanitarian workers rather than meeting the basic needs of the earthquake victims, considering denouncing violence is far less, in a country that sings despite the tragedy.
