Morne-à-Cabri- the goat moutain in Haitian Creole- is one of the most symbolic rehousing programs for the earthquake victims. Today, only about a hundred inhabitants actually live here, most of whom are police officers patrolling all day in an air-conditioned vehicle. The houses are new but badly designed, the tap water is salty, and boredom is an everyday reality. But the Haitian government promises that soon factories will be built and a police station. A new school should open at the start of the next school year...

After the disaster, the wave of solidarity had raised great hopes

For a journalist lacking inspiration, Morne-à-Cabri is the best metaphor for the post earthquake situation in Haiti. The scars left by the January 2010 earthquake are hardly visible anymore. The refugees have left their tents, or have been forced out. The rubble has been cleared off the streets. The NGOs have left. But the pre-existing issues, such as poverty, health and unemployment, remain.
