The well-wishers vowed, in the words of Bill Clinton, who helped co-ordinate their early efforts, to “build back better”. Yet five years later, the country is little better off than it was before the disaster—and in some ways it is worse.
TRADUCTION
Les "ceux qui veulent bien faire" ont promis , "reconstruire mieux", selon les mots de Bill Clinton qui a aidé à coordonner les premières aides. Cependant, cinq ans plus tard, le pays est légèrement mieux qu'il ne l'était avant le désastre- et dans certains domaines il est pire.
Corruption, shoddy infrastructure and political instability discourage private investment, which Haiti desperately needs to bring down unemployment and raise its pitiful wages.
TRADUCTION
La corruption, des infrastructures minables et l'instabilité politique découragent l'investissement privé, dont Haïti a désespérément besoin afin de baisser le niveau de chômage et relever ses salaires pitoyables.
Haiti before the quake, though not quite a failed state, was a fragile one. A tortured history has stunted its institutions. It took a slave revolt and payment of crippling reparations to free Haiti from France. America marched in to enforce payment of debts in 1915 and did not fully withdraw until 32 years later. Many senior officials died in the quake that flattened the capital in 2010, further enfeebling the state.

Avant le séisme, Haïti bien que n'étant pas un pays "failli", était une nation fragile. Une histoire abusive a freiné le développement de ses institutions. Il a fallu une révolte d'esclaves et le paiement de réparations colossales (un coup de massue) pour qu'elle se libère de la France. Les USA sont intervenus pour forcer le paiement des dettes en 1915 et ne sont partis du pays que 32 années plus tard. De nombreux fonctionnaires sont mort lors du tremblement de terre qui a mis la capitale par terre, ceci affaiblissant encore plus l'Etat.

A march around the institutions
FEW countries have suffered an earthquake so devastating, or have been less prepared for such a calamity. The quake that struck Haiti on January 12th 2010 killed perhaps 200,000 people-no one is ...
