And of course Esser & co. are writing that this is all the fault of the
interim govt, implying that if Aristide were still there all would be well,
where the truth of the matter is that NO Haitian government, including
Aristide's, looks/looked beyond the slums of Port au Prince (for propaganda,
demonstrations, and opposition control), the palace, El Rancho and the like
in Petionville, and their personal retreats in Kenscoff and LaBoule for any
work on infrastructure, ecology, and supplies, the occasional
photo-opportunity trip to "the provinces" notwithstanding.
