Dans une analyse (non scientifique et pour le plaisir), la journaliste Dora Fun de Yahoo Style a compilé les meilleures et pires tenues portées par les délégations olympiques lors de la cérémonie d'ouverture.

Haïti arrive à la troisième position du classement de Yahoo Style

....après le Burkina Faso

Best-dressed: Burkina Faso - Hands down, this might be the best Opening Ceremony outfit of the night. It ticked not one, not two, but three of fashion’s favorite tropes: the stripes, the tunic shape, and the street style-worthy hat. And as a bonus, intricate prints and detailing.

et les Îles Cook (près de la Nouvelle Zelande)

The Cook Islands - The Cook Islands, way out in the South Pacific near New Zealand, chose not to opt for a conservative look. In tropical floral prints in green, the women finished off with flower crowns. Festival dress made almost chic again.

Haïti a même fait la première page du magazine Village Life ce matin avec une magnifique photo montrant une Aniya Louissaint toute souriante dans sa tenue traditionnelle haïtienne.

Lesdits costumes griffés Maëlle David, un designer haïtien au talent extraordinaire qui se passe de présentation en Haïti et ailleurs, sont une courtoisie du Ministère du Tourisme d’Haïti dans le cadre de son appui à la Fédération Olympique haïtienne, celle-ci présidée par le Dr Hans Larsen.

« Le Ministère du Tourisme est fier de la participation d’Haïti aux jeux olympiques cette année, et est de tout cœur avec la délégation », affirme M. Didier Hyppolite, Ministre du Tourisme.

Dans un communiqué de presse publié aujourd'hui, le Premier ministre SEM Enex Jean-Charles a voulu saluer la participation des athlètes haïtiens aux Jeux Olympiques de Rio 2016.

Le chef du gouvernement, SEM Enex Jean-Charles en a également profité pour féliciter le Comité olympique haïtien pour avoir réussi a créer le cadre idéal pour une préparation adéquate des dix athlètes représentant le pays au Jeux.

“La Nation se dresse comme un seul homme derrière nos vaillants et dignes représentants qui seront à la fois les représentants d’un pays tourné vers les sports et des modèles à suivre susceptibles de susciter des vocations chez les plus jeunes.” a exprimé le Premier ministre Jean-Charles.

Citadelle Laferrière (Harold Estime)

Citadelle Laferrière
By: Harold Estime

Ajoutée le 16 sept. 2015

The Citadelle Laferrière located in northern Haiti, approximately 17 miles (27 km) south of the city of Cap-Haïtien and five miles (8 km) from the town of Milot.

It is the largest fortress in the Americas and was designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a World Heritage Site in 1982—along with the nearby Sans-Souci Palace.

The Citadel was built by Henri Christophe, after Haiti gained independence from France at the beginning of the 19th century.

The massive stone structure was built by up to 20,000 workers between 1805 and 1820 as part of a system of fortifications designed to keep the newly-independent nation of Haiti safe from French incursions. Built several miles inland, and atop the 3,000 ft (910 m) Bonnet a L’Eveque mountain, to deter attacks and to provide a lookout into the nearby valleys.

Cap-Haïtien and the adjoining Atlantic Ocean are visible from the roof of the fortress. Anecdotally, it is possible to sight the eastern coast of Cuba, some 90 miles (140 km) to the west, on clear days.

The Haitians outfitted the fortress with 365 cannon of varying size. Enormous stockpiles of cannonballs still sit in pyramidal stacks at the base of the fortress walls. Since its construction, the fortress has withstood numerous earthquakes, though a French attack never came.

How Much and How Little Haiti Has Changed...

Before and After Photos

Show How Much, and How Little

Haiti Has Changed Since The Quake

Eline Gordts Jan 18, 2015

Haiti marked the fifth anniversary of the devastating 2010 earthquake on Monday with church services and ceremonies.

The 7.0-magnitude quake struck in the morning of Jan. 12, 2010, destroying landmarks such as the presidential palace and the Sacre Coeur Church in Port-au-Prince. With more than 220,000 people killed, the earthquake was one of the worst natural disasters of modern times.

Gladys Lambard, who lost her husband and sister in the quake, told the Associated Press on Monday that the sadness of the disaster has marked her forever. “This is the anniversary of the day I can never forget,” she said.

Haiti is among the poorest countries in the world. More than half of the population lives in crowded slums and up to sixty percent survives on less than $2 a day. It is also one of the nations most at risk of natural disasters.

The before and after photos below serve as a stark reminder of the magnitude of the calamity that struck the country in 2010 and show how much, and how little, Haiti has changed since the quake.
