As far as attached to the situation, I live in NYC.

I get a lot of my news from radio programs, my family living there and uncle in DR. I'm not sure what sources you have, but, there's seldom good news. For instance, some donations to hurricane victims were stolen. People work hard and go about their lives with laughter, music, family like anywhere else.

We need an overhaul of government. We need the Diaspora who misses the country and are sick of regression. The Haitian people are captives, plain and simple under a so-called democracy. Have and have-nots in the true sense of the word.

Haitixchange.com is a good source for english speakers. I 've met the brother running it and he does a good job.

Put it this way, people talk about politics more readily than before. Don't forget that "democracy" is relatively new. The Duvalier legacy was almost 30 yrs. That's years of corrupted minds, abuse and so forth.

In a country such as ours, you have no idea who's a former macoute, ex-soldier. Some of them hold a grudge. Some of my old school buddies would tell me about the days in the DR when you had to watch what you say. Our time is just prolongated, that's all.

Why do you feel that you are so much better than haitians. You should try to help and stop judging them. because a lot of countries look down on dominicans. and they believe your poor, uneducated, criminals. when I went to visit DR people was warning me how you'll rob people in the airports and on the streets, how the people and kids will ask for the clothes off your back. puerto ricans especially feel that you'll are poor and dangerous people.

Arkatype, Said I feel the same way about puerco bichos you're lazy and love dope, 95% are career tecatos junkies so who cares what you think P.R. this is not you're turf so i suggest you stay out in the sidelines. This is none of your concern, remember fool you've been a colony since day one chump!!!!!

Haitians as usual.....

Kmnupe, I really appreciate your posts (all of them) and you must know that by now, but it is extremely confusing to see all your good intentions, your faith in our common future if we both are as reasonable as our situation demands and later finding the real situation in Haiti.

To be against Dominicans is a political asset in Haiti today as it was in Aristide’s times and you can be sure that marching by this way Haiti is going to be the big looser.


Haiti’s Senator sees Préval disinterested in nexuses with DR.
by José Miguel Montero
El Nacional

A Haitian senator affirmed today that president René Préval does not have interest in fortifying the relations of his country with Dominican Republic, attitude that said has harmed its compatriots, who have not been able to benefit from possible commercial and migratory agreements […] legislator Rudolph Boulos, of the Fusion Party […] affirmed that president Fernandez has proposed to Préval an endless number of agreements that would improve the commercial interchange and the migratory relations, but that the Haitian governor has not paid him the due attention to those offers. He assured that has prevented that thousands of resident Haitians in Dominican Republic acquire documents that allow them to live here legally. It detailed that about 15 thousand Haitians study in Dominican universities, more than 350 thousand in the construction and approximately half million develop agricultural workings, the majority without the due documentation. He emphasized that if the Government of Préval had interest in maintaining good relations with his neighbors he were working by migratory and commercial agreements that benefit both countries. He affirmed that situation harms so much to the Haitians in Dominican Republic as to the ones that are in their own country, and did not discard that the calamity situation that more and more is accentuated in Haiti brings about an increase of the arrival of undocumented Haitians to Dominican territory. Boulos considered that the position of Préval has its origin in the fact that he tries to reelect himself and that with that intention he wants to be elevated in "anti-Dominican" leader, with the […] idea that it would be a new ingredient that would help him to recover the Haitian people please.


We are not saints, my dear friend, and as that position grows up we are going to fire back.

.

Do not believe on everything that you read please some research my brother, we Dominicans are good people, we are the only nation in recorded world history to be liberated then get re-enslaved by the colonizer, we are living a lie.

LightOfTruth, Said Moreno1 slavery was never reinstated when the country became annexed to Spain. The reason for that decision came because of the many incursions from haiti's military in the country, when the Dominican Republic was vastly outnumbered by Haiti's larger population.

“Do not believe on everything that you read please [do] some research my brother”
Moreno1.

I do not understand your statement, Moreno1. If you read my posts you are going to see a person that use to be well informed.
I am not listening to a common person, I am listening to a senator (specifically a Haitian senator) and I suppose that even in Haiti a senator is not a simple piece of garbage.
