Can I Wear Light Grey With Dark Grey
life
The stars are so bright in the night Port au Prince .. never seen so clear in a capital city. And they tell of a city where there are now whole areas in the dark after sunset. And without electricity during the day. The street who wants to upload their mobile phone, it does have a few stalls that the generator. Life is divided between the tent city, where by day there are nearly only women and children and the street, more full of men, many of whom now work to clean the streets, in exchange for money but do not receive food.
aid arriving almost exclusively to women, considered to be more responsible .. and quantities of rice are given to those who manage to get them to allow the requirement for at least 20 days, in fact last much less, each woman has to feed at least three children, and more.
There seems to be more attentive to foreign associations that Haitians who are here, it seems that little information appearing in magazines and newspapers, should increase even more the false statements in a country that has never had the honor of being described objectively. It seems you do everything to frighten, to deter think that a disaster like that does not necessarily lead to a huge violence. Seeking news of Haiti in Italian newspapers and there is a huge gap, you do not write anything, the shock value is over because they are finite images of dead and trucks loaded with corpses. "Reconstruction", the post is not news. And if there is something mysterious and alarming of the curfew.
me that they had to say Italy because they become aware of. You just do not talk, even more, it is not known. It 'just a new idea is terrifying. Not that there is no curfew, it's just one thing that this country has lived for decades. No one would dream of going west to downtown after seven in the evening the place without someone to accompany him, but here as in any other South American capital and beyond. Here I go out quietly in Petionville in the evening to eat something other than rice and chicken or drinking a beer along with other people. And we're not afraid, not the air you breathe the danger that both like to tell the media. The peace is not news, then you must implement it with the paranoia and terror that by now '11/09 has no end. And that distorts everything. There
life, a return to the everyday that you see in containers full of clothes and soap to wash under tents made of fabrics and blankets, in the markets in the streets, in the desire to distract themselves by playing football, listening to the radio or sketching a few dance steps. There is a strong need for children to occupy their days, now that do not go to school because they are almost all collapsed, many during the lesson. The government says it will reopen in mid-March, but it's hard to believe given the immobility of the situation. Many roads can not yet go into the car so I am in the rubble on the ground, and the inhabitants are struggling to navigate the city center, since there are no more reference points.
The plan for downtown is to raze everything to the ground and rebuild the city from scratch, There are already dozens of American officials on a visit to study their plans better .. and to think that ground zero has yet to see achieve his ambition after nine years.
When I come home at night and then I go on the internet, I find myself with journalists of all nationalities and all in some way we are discouraged to see the gravity of the situation and the little space that comes from information given to this tragedy, which continues , despite the fact that abroad it seems already forgotten. Maybe today will hear about, there was so much clamor for the arrival of the French president in an area where none of his predecessor after Haitian independence (we speak of 1804) had set foot. He confirmed that remove the debt that the country is' paying to France for 200 years now and for the next two years will give millions of euro.
There is the certainty that the rainy season, which starts here in April and expect that this year is more intense than usual, cause many deaths and hardships. And right now that I write, it starts raining, raining ..
Who can afford it is' out of the country, mainly in Miami where there is a great community, despite the name, Little Haiti. This will cause a dispersion, a huge diaspora of the ruling class or middle class, however, that in every country is the one that controls, for better or for worse. Last night
I met an Englishman who works as a bodyguard of journalists and photographers, one of those who after 30 years of experience could be filled with stories all night. And who can terrorize in 10 minutes ... I did a crash course in first aid, first aid, firearm, giving me liquid bandages and never known before. Interesting in her, even if by taking it with pliers, according to him everything I've done so far is unfortunate. But I think it is safer to run with a Haitian who knows the language and the places with English with a bulletproof vest. At least here, at least now.

Name Of Things In The Car
Downtown
And to think that today seem to have been the quietest day since I came here. I had no program and the fact that it was half party was not even able to find someone with a machine that could bring me where I wanted. So for breakfast I am having with the photographer with whom I should do a workshop here earlier this month and then, as many know, I had decided not to for various reasons. And before I am convinced of my decision, today I was just another confirmation.
In any case, we were together all day and somehow was lucky because I am able to do things alone would have been unimaginable to vivermi. We descended down to downtown with two bikes and four hours we are there to turn the entire walk. The air was rather warm, the police chasing those who approached the buildings destroyed to the sound of truncheons, but only around the police station at the beginning .. then we arrived in the center of the hurricane had just managed to throw down a wall to get into a big electronics store .. hundreds of people crowded to get in, going out with stereos, televisions, radios and just outside, to beat up those who would take things and run away, some on foot, some with motor , who skipping on some machines of passage. All this lasted for at least 20min. Without a shadow of a policeman around. In the meantime I have stolen two memory cards and spare batteries, there were people running, you hit and took things everywhere. When the police arrived, of course they are all fled, except a few dozen who was inside the building and was arrested, a line of people to which most little boys, each of which was carrying the thing taken from inside the building .. When the situation was a bit 'calmed arrived saying he had seen a boy who had stolen things, bon, in five minutes I had everything back. Who knows maybe it was all catch and they knew each other, but never mind, it is important to have had my things back!
He was all emotionally very strong, but when you're almost there in the situation you do not realize, is now returning home that I feel all things seen and experienced him, that I realize what this moment there is something absolutely extraordinary, in the sense out of the ordinary. The police have the right as if to anything, on people who only have rights to live, nothing more. Are not names, not everyone in his individuality, are the masses who now have no one to follow because no one is going to do it. And they are killed as if nothing had happened, even when we were there they had just shot someone in the building. The crowd rebels, but then immune, turns on the other side and faces the other way.
E 'anarchy, anarchy induced by a non-existent political situation that allows such things can happen, and the anarchy of who has nothing and therefore has nothing to lose. E'qualcosa of atrocious to realize ... And I am increasingly disappointed and saddened, here it is as if all things were bad governments out, it's as if the falsity of the ruling classes, here are the most striking manifestation .. plus, What is' doing the local police and not only!? They're cleaning up some roads for the long-awaited arrival of Sarkozy Monsieux, so that it can be seen to the destroyed city, but deserted, with no the reality of people in the street .. mah. we must think in situations like these? in the main square of the UN tanks and armed soldiers running around, but what are they, what are they? everyone knows that their usefulness in humanitarian terms, is nothing, and certainly are not useful to maintain order. And every day is unbearable to know that the reality is very different from what is said outside the borders, and even more unbearable to think about how this falsehood is on the agenda for everything happening everywhere. Why American newspapers, even serious ones, are not real journalism and not write the facts as they are? because then the risk embedded in their place as Iraq rather than Afghanistan or somewhere else. then we must put on blinders and become cynical? I do not believe, I believe that something can be done, hoping that not everything needs to change for the worse. And I believe that journalism has more faults than he is giving. We live in a world of false news, but it is easier to realize this and stay in their own backyard rather than just saying so many useless articles. sin. It 'an outburst, it is written on impulse and not even reread it, but that's what I feel after most days when I see things I did not add up. and now barely makes me upload a picture ...
