The guards will purposely allow the Dominicans to sell as much as they can and hold the Haitians at the border for hours. Keep in mind the border market is for both Haitian and Dominican merchants and vendors. How do you explain this? Are we causing the problem at this point? Both countries need to acknowledge the fact that France and Span created the division, but as a people we could unite.
However, the current economic system of the Dominican would prevail and you guys may end up trying to control us. Who can end this and make fair rules? One day I hope God does something for Haiti. I donate what I can from America, but alas it is not enough.
The economic system needs to be reformed and so does the government. Learn this once and propagandize it. But you would need to do more research on your own to educate yourself on so many great histories and values of Haiti and its beautiful warriors.
Camila has been watching televangelist shows like club that demonizes Haitian citizens as well as the native people. Fun fact the native people of Haiti are also the native people of the Dominican Republic. Haiti is paying the price of white supremacy, its simple. I do not think it is appropriate for anyone us to talk like that with Camilla. We should know better. Maybe she is very young and do not understand certain things.
I know they have great and bad people in every country. I know they have Dominican that killed Haitians in Dominican Republic for no reason. Some Haitians just a kids that their parents sent them to university over there. They robed them and killed them. And as Haitians have forgive them. Remember this is one Island and two countries. If one side goes down under the sea the other will go only God can prevent. Whomever that is writing the history about Haiti, I want you to know that the Island was for the Indians.
Tainos were all over the Island, not only in Dominican Republic. Haiti name was given by the Indians means land of high mountain. Several million tourists visit the country each year. But the stunning landscape and the luxurious hotels mask the fact that the Dominican Republic actually belongs to the less wealthy countries in Latin America, and that it shares a border with Haiti, the poorest country in the western world.
Though Haiti and the Dominican Republic share an island, they remain worlds apart. That's seen, for instance, in the infrastructure. In Haiti, on the other hand, "you often need an hour just to travel a few kilometers," he adds.
It's a similar picture in other areas too. According to the United Nations, only about 50 percent of Haitians can read and write as opposed to nearly 90 percent in neighboring Dominican Republic and child mortality rates in Haiti are three times higher than in the Dominican Republic. Climate change hits Haiti hard The huge differences between the two countries play a direct role in how far they are affected by climate change and how they're dealing with the consequences.
Haiti's huge coastline makes it especially vulnerable to hurricanes. Since all the country's big cities are located on the coast, floods often have dramatic repercussions. The weak infrastructure hampers quick delivery of aid and emergency help during natural catastrophes. As a result, some , people were killed during an earthquake in early Since no Haitian city has a regular electricity supply, for many residents wood remains the most important source of energy.
That's one reason why the island's forest cover has largely disappeared. The bare mountains lead to strong rains washing away the soil cover. That in turn makes life worse for the local residents since Haiti is densely populated and heavily rural. Thick vegetation is needed to keep the soil intact, Heinz Oelers says. To do that "you could for instance combine forestry and food crop cultivation," he says. The main reasons lie in the region's history. The entire island of Hispaniola was long under Spanish rule until , when the Spanish rulers handed over the western third of the island to France.
