"some of those who fled are beginning to return after enduring the rural misery that drove them to Port-au-Prince in the first place"
That effect occurs all over the world and in every country, folks -- since globalists and globalization have come along.
"Haitians return to battered capital; Complicates plans to make improvements" by Ben Fox, Associated Press | February 6, 2010
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - A half-million Haitians who fled their shattered capital after the earthquake are starting to return to a maze of rubble piles, refugee camps, and food lines, complicating ambitious plans to build a better Haiti.
What took 'em so long, and why only after a calamity?
Haitian and international officials had hoped to use the devastation of Port-au-Prince - a densely packed sprawl of winding roads and ramshackle slums that is home to a third of Haiti’s 9 million people - to build an improved capital and decentralize the country.
I don't like the tone or terminology!
MOTIVES are ALWAYS QUESTIONABLE when someone hopes to "use" something, right?
An estimated 500,000 people fled to the countryside in the days after the quake, many on buses paid for by the government to move quake survivors away from the heart of the destruction. Hundreds of thousands more are camped atop the rubble of their homes, or packed into makeshift camps.
Now some of those who fled are beginning to return after enduring the rural misery that drove them to Port-au-Prince in the first place....
The idea was to use the quake as an opportunity to fix some of Haiti’s longstanding problems....
Again, the tone and terms!
Rice: 9/11 an “enormous opportunity”
Rumsfeld: "Why Not another 911"Yeah, my EARS PERK UP when I see the agenda-pushing paper using those words!
Like hearing a HAARP, readers.
“We want to create opportunities for them as well in the second cities,’’ said the US Agency for International Development’s No. 2 official, Dr. Anthony Chan.

But Haitians are already streaming back to the capital....
As displaced people moved back to their demolished homes, Alfredo Stein, of the University of Manchester’s Global Urban Research Centre, said planners must assume people will return - and must work closely with them to rebuild. Rather than thinking people are in the way, planners must consider their return to be an opportunity to fix not just the bricks and mortar but Haiti’s social fabric, he said.
Why have you waited so long, and.... oh, never mind, MSM!
