SANTO DOMINGO.- A senior Government official on Thursday said the country doesn’t have to accept any type of aid from ex United States president Jimmy Carter, if it implies a joint vision of Dominican Republic and Haiti to confront malaria or other diseases.
Health Sector Reform Commission (CERSS) director doctor Humberto Salazar said to accept any binational funding means to assume the vision he said the great powers have that since Haiti and Dominican Republic share an island their problems must be solved jointly. “Those who accept binational donations are bad Dominican because they attempt against the nation’s sovereignty.”
The official noted that two years ago, as head of the Presidential Council on AIDS, rejected aid from the United States because it implied assuming an HIV prevention program linked to the Haitian authorities. “We cannot accept, under any concept, the vision of a joint island the ex president of the United States and Europe have.”
However, Salazar said the country should accept any economic support from Carter to confront any border problem, but separate from Haiti.
The CERSS director said the former U.S. chief executive should be made aware that the malaria on this side of the border is the result of the Haitians’ “peaceful invasion” across the border and then on to distant tourism regions.
“That’s the reason why as a health sector official I cannot agree with those who want to impose that Dominican and Haitian authorities work on malaria and other diseases as a single chapter. We should confront the problems derived from our neighbors with our own restructures,” the official said.

The mosquitos migrate with the Haitains? Could the guardia shoot and machetazo the mosquitos at the border? Are the mosquitos taking jobs from the Dominicans and using public health care? If the children in the campos didn't kill every living creature (lizards, birds, frogs) would natural predators reduce mosquito numbers? If Haitians were required to bath and apply deoderant at the border would mosquitos stay in Haiti? Is malaria contagious (between humans)? Haiti = cabeza de turco

Now, someone talked with wisdon. Carter you cannot see the two as one, or when have you seen the United State and Mexico working Jointly about any issues, never, but you have aid the idea of strenghtening the border as a main focus to solve many of the issues that are brought in that way.
From: United States
Let's not forget that Haitian are unfortunate to be going through current fate, and shall we never minimize their human right to live and survive; even when it means to migrate to a different country. These are hard working people who are trying to better themselves. Haiti once was the atraction of Europe and after their independance on MAY 20 OF 1805, corruptede goverment, lack of employement, lack of leadership, poor education, and other factyors brought Haiti to their present status....Does any of this sound familiar with another country?

muy peligroso game with us the dominican and our island,Haiti has to deal with their problems and we have to deal with our problems,we leave in the same island but as Canada/USA/mexico
we have a very different way of leaving,Ahiti para los Ahitianos y REPUBLICA DOMINICANA para nosotros los Dominicanos,i don;t think that i;m better or smatter than any haitian but i'm 19000000.00% sure that nosotros somos muy diferentes y con una idea y educacion muy diferente y con un Idioma todavia 19000000.00% mas difetente.

President Carter. The Dominican Republic does not want a joint venture because
1) they will have to share their graft and kickbacks
2) they do not care about Haiti or their over 1 million poor people

It's one island. The entire island has the same problem with Malaria. Forget your hatred of the Haitians for one minute and let's try to solve this one problem. No one is saying that our two countries are the same. When some one wants to deal with and solve the small mindedness problem, and the many other problems that we suffer from, it should be solved country by country. But to repeat, This is ONE island that suffers from a problem with Malaria. Do the mosquitos know which country they are in?
From: United States
there are some people on this board who continuously depict foreigners as trying to belittle the Dominican Republic in the eyes of the outside world. well, ladies and gentlemen, foreigners need not waste their time making the DR look like a stone age society. with public officials like these, who needs gringo to run you down? your boys do a splendid job as it is. maybe this dude is upset because he will have to split the COMISION with his Haitian counterparts. the more things change, the more they remain the same.

The sad reality is there seems to be people in DR to justify their xenophobic views always want to suggest this international plot to unify the island.

This senior government official proves to us all how narrow minded he is. He doesn't get the big picture. Malaria is a health problem that knows no borders or politics. Pres. Carter's assistance should be welcomed.

Bill Clinton tried to wash the US hands of Haiti by making it a dependency of the DR.
This is just another automatic US "liberal" racist reaction, like when Clinton refused to land peace-keepers in Haiti for fear he'd be seen as a white overlord when trouble started.
Carter is a nitwit unconscious bigot, and he doesn't want responsibility for the program. He'd rather the DR take charge of "them black chirrun" in Haiti. THAT's what underlies this idea of 'joint' aid.
Pray Obama steps in.

Oh, yes , now everybody realized how terrible Dominicans are, because nobody can stop mosquitos and malaria at the border. when we have chicken flu and Haitians closed their border and banned chickens and eggs for monthns, even after we were declared flu free, nobody told them that the flu virus couldn't be stopped at the border, could they? If its Haiti, they can get away with anything, if is DR, oh, those filfthy racists.
From: United States, Washington, D.C.
Micaela,
two different issues, w/ two different solutions. Chicken flu can be managed, while MOSQUITOS is a bit trickier. ALL border checks ask about things like fruits,life animal, and things that may contain some sort of contaminant. That's a way of trying to mitigate the spread of contaminants, such as the bird flu. I haven't seen any border check in any country, trying to control mosquitos. So two different issues, two different responses.
That Haiti exploited the situation w/ the chicken flu, goes w/o say and the results are obvious, increased food scarcity in Haiti and increased in prices. But, that too, is a separate issue from trying to control Malaria.
From: United States
US$19,000,000 Carter Foundation it's donating to the "Hispaniola NO, YO SOY Negroes" to erradicate the Island " Malaria". An the few "San Andreans" officials are complaining about it, because, as I recall it, they dust their faces with wheat flour.

This Humberto Salazar is a disgrace. While the problem is located fundamentally in Haiti-over 90%, the fact remains that insects respect no borders nor human body to subsist. Better that this fool had stated that the Dominican Republic looked forward to facilitating arrangements with their Haitian counterparts to eradicate the problem. And yes he could have stated that the issue of the border would also be addressed as this problem made it more difficult to control not just the spread of diseases, criminals, guns, and other potentially dangerous conditions from both sides of the island. He has no diplomatic tact.

Humberto Salazar has proposed to LIE-onel Fernandez that the Super Tucanos (whenever they get here) be retro fitted with micro missiles to shoot down the invading hordes of "Haitian" mosquitoes who are silently invading the DR.
This way we will show the Haitian government that their secret plot to send their mosquitoes to DR to take away the jobs of hard working Dominican mosquitoes will not stand unchallenged, carajo!
