Tourism? In Haiti? Attorney Joseph shakes his head. Youd have to sprinkle sand in the tourists eyes so that theyd see a different reality, he says. But his next words are surprising: The ministers ideas arent all that preposterous. Perhaps she can achieve something positive, he says, even if she is part of an incompetent government. Shes a one-eyed person among the blind. On his way back to Port-au-Prince, Joseph travels along dirt roads filled with potholes, past scrawny horses carrying heavy loads and garishly painted vehicles to which too many people are clinging. Joseph drives an air-conditioned SUV with bulletproof windows, which he had installed because of the death threats that come with his work. The road passes through the village of his childhood. Frail goats wobble around, and there are mud huts, but there are also small concrete houses and a small school. Joseph slows down to look out the window. My life here wouldnt be any different that Lizettes, he says, if I hadnt been lucky enough to go to school. - Spiegel International
