English term

whole swaths of disenfranchised people

English to French Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters expression
The source sentence:"The "international community" - governments and NGO's - have announced billions in aid, but the key issue is the inability of the government itself to deal with the problems that have long been identified - lack of land reform, no clear rules around property, whole swaths of disenfranchised people living on the margin long before the earthquake."

The text is about Haiti's earthquake.

Thanks!
