Q & A: Wyclef Jean on Bill Clinton and Haiti's new revolution

From Esquire ESQUIRE: What changes have you seen in the way people are living in Port-au-Prince since the quake? WYCLEF JEAN: Before the quake we had close to an 80 percent illiteracy rate. The population could not read and write. Before the quake you had a situation of child slavery. Before the quake you had a high prostitution rate. Before the quake, Cité du Soleil was in an inhumane situation -- not even animals would walk in. Before the quake, Haiti got hit with back-to-back hurricanes, the city of Gonaïves was destroyed. ESQ: That's a good breakdown of how it was before, but what's the change been like since? WJ: One-point-two million homeless. There were homes then. No matter what kind of homes they were, they still were homes. Forget the fact that people live in tents these days. Now, no homes. That will catch up to them.
