Sign of the Times

 

This was the amazing front cover of Le Matin, a bi-weekly Haitian newspaper, on Monday. ONG is the French acronym for NGO. Below the collapsed presidential palace is Sarokozy, whose visit to Haiti after the earthquake was highly publicized and politicized. Below him is flooding from hurricane season. In the center are Bill Clinton and the Haitian Prime Minister, Jean Max Bellerive, who co-chair the ineffective and controversial Interim Haiti Reconstruction Commission (CIRH). Center right, a UN soldier is pooping cholera into a tent city. And, along the bottom are the president, Provisional Electoral Council and leading presidential candidates.
