(Read the English version below)

Jhonny Ferdinand ki ap pale de problem peyi, li rive sou sekte enformel la. Se tris wi sa jounalis la ap di a!

Ou paka wè ti machann dlo a k ap rele 3 dlo pou dola anko!

Ou paka we ti machan pistach griye a!

Ou paka we moun ki te konn fe chanyy lan.

Ou paka we moun ki te konn rele labapen bouye, ze bouyi a.

Moun ki te gen aleken nan bouret la, ou paka wel anko, paske li pa gen espas pou li sikile paske se de zòn ke bandi yo pran e yo deside pa gen anyen ki pou fonsyone ladan yo, pa gen anyen ki pou fet ladan yo.

For my English Speakers

Today, I was listening to an editorial by journalist Johnny Ferdinand on Radio Caraïbes FM, where he passionately said, today in Haiti, people can't even suffer in peace anymore!" -- Powerful words!

Johnny Ferdinand spoke about Haiti's worsening problems, focusing on the collapse of the informal economy. It's heartbreaking.

You no longer see the street vendors selling "three bags of water for 5 gourdes."

The woman selling roasted peanuts by the roadside? Gone.

The shoe shine man? Nowhere to be found.

The street vendors shouting about boiled breadfruit (labapin bouyi) and eggs? They've disappeared.

Even those who used to sell cooked fooe on wheelbarrows, they can't move around anymore -- gangs have taken over entire areas, and nothing is allowed to function there.

This has only increased the number of people struggling just to survive in Haiti, the journalist said.
