we'll listen to from the former president of haiti haiti mr verity. once we have the condition of haiti now we have a kind of miracle and. so they don't want me to be back for my point of view because they still want to buy haiti. very interesting interview and i suggest viewers see the rest of it nic i mean how much in your knowledge of haiti how much is the the former president reflect public opinion in haiti today his words that he just said. well i think many people in the mainstream media keep keep keep basically you know mentioning his name there's no doubt that he's still a popular figure in haiti's politics. there is he as you know it's in the interview said that. you know he has been forced to to leave haiti in two thousand and four he's main party from the switch is still very popular in haiti has not been allowed to present candidates so there's no doubt right now than going into an election in these next days he's not going to be seen as legitimate but that's just one political reality of the reality in haiti as people know there is one po

so haiti is the subject of the book. tavis: what is there for those of us stateside to learn from your work that is so haiti-centric? >> i think there's a lot that we can learn stateside about haiti outside of my work even. in the united states, you know, haiti and the united states were the first republics in this hemisphere. pretty much started around the same time. have a common history that have merged over the years. with the united states coming in and out of haiti and of course now a lot of haitian immigrants living here in the united states. what i hope people learn from my work and what i hope they go seeking in other work is that there's also beauty in haiti. i think people often see the news, the tragedies, that there's great beauty and the physical landscape, despite the destruction that we've seen in port-au-prince, the beauty outside of purity prince, there's a great strength in the people, there's very ar tiities tick beauty, there's great music and art. there's great literature. this is what i hope that w

in haiti the numbers coming out are very, very alarming.ra are dying from it. that's a good sign that people are not getting treated quickly enough, that the solutions are not getting to people in time to save those lives. >> and in terms of the billions of dollars that have been pledged to haiti, not all of them have got there, but can actually something happen to improve this situation without a real infrastructure improvement, without development? >> well, you know, the long-term solution is infrastructure. it is providing water treatment plants. it's repairing those plants that were broken, but if you look at haiti before the earthquake, the numbers there were really not good at all. only 12% of the population had piped water into their house that was clean. only 17% of the population used adequate sanitation. so this earthquake did not hit a situation where you had a country with viable public health infrastructure that needed to be repaired. it hit a country that was really at bottom level, a country that did not have infrastructure t
