Santo Domingo.– Over 100 Dominican companies have sold $5.5 million in products, including bread and latrines, to nonprofit organizations and United Nations agencies providing help in the aftermath of Haiti's devastating Jan. 12 earthquake.

According to the Dominican Export and Investment Center (CEI-RD) director Eddy Martinez, the country has a built-in capacity to provide a quick and competitive response, which certifies companies to do business in Haiti.

The Dominican Republic earned a total of $647 million in 2009 from goods exported to Haiti, including food, cement and zinc.

1st paragraph;
“Santo Domingo.– Over 100 Dominican companies have sold $5.5 million in products, including bread and latrines, to nonprofit organizations and United Nations agencies providing help in the aftermath of Haiti's devastating Jan. 12 earthquake“.
QUESTION:
5.5 mil??? Is that USD or DRP, because $5.5 mil / 100 = $550000. UDS 0r $14,950 USD per company
2nd paragraph
“According to the Dominican Export and Investment Center (CEI-RD) director Eddy Martinez, the country has a built-in capacity to provide a quick and competitive response, which certifies companies to do business in Haiti”
QUESTION:
So why do we have a shortage of rice, sugar, rebar, cement, ect.
3rd Paragraph
The Dominican Republic earned a total of $647 million in 2009 from goods exported to Haiti, including food, cement and zinc.
QUESTION:
I don’t understand $647 mil in 2009 and now $5.5 mil in 2010 because of the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake. Again USD ($ Dead Presidents $) or RDP (Pesos)…….???????

examples of solidarity across the island abound--from the countless slave rebellions on both sides of the island to the 1863 War of Restoration waged by black Dominicans against Spanish colonialism, which defeated the Spanish Empire, due in part to the military aid of Haiti. Another important example is the simultaneous struggles fought by peasant guerillas against the U.S. occupying forces in Haiti (1915-1934) and the Dominican Republic (1916-1924).

In the 1930s, Haitians came to the rescue of Dominicans when hurricane San Zenon devastated Santo Domingo City. Most recently, during the Dominican Republic's 1965 Revolution, a popular uprising aimed at restoring democratically elected President Juan Bosch to power, many Haitians joined the cause and died fighting against Dominican military forces and the subsequent U.S. invasion. In fact, one of the martyrs of the revolution was the Haitian-born intellectual Jacques Viau.

Unity among Dominicans and Haitians is possible--and crucial today to help defeat the U.S. and Western powers that seek to further oppress the Haitian people under the guise of humanitarian intervention.

Aid to earthquake-ravaged Haiti is important, but it shouldn't be the only focus of our solidarity with the Haitian people. Only by building a strong revolutionary, internationalist and anti-imperialist movement in the Dominican Republic, Haiti and elsewhere will we be able to force UN and U.S. troops out of Haiti.

Havent been in here for a while - looks like most of the scilled writers have abandoned DT - probably lost interest in "jabs to the air" - still Dread is here giving his brilliant comments to the likes of ateo2010. If by any chance there are too many ateos in this country one can be damn sure there will be no progress - probably that's what this object want. Dread - keep on coming so we all can have some brainstorming.

By the way just came home from 3 weeks in SD. There is one thing that facinate me about the dominicans. If you have an agreement at 2pm they will show up 3 or 4pm. If you are crazy enough to enter a car for a ride you can be damn sure the driver will put all his energy, your life and his life at stake just to overtake the next car and the next car ............ What about putting all this energy into getting rid of these socalled political parties with all their corruption and misbehaviour to rip off the whole population???????? How about doing something smart??

ScandiViking, I would be delighted on knowing why you support such a moron like Dread. It isn't smart of you doing that, and also saying that if there where atheists in DR it wouldn't progress. I can't not compute that, i just can't... anyways good to know you had fun here in DR. hope you come back again.. greetings.

Thanks God there is a branch of science called"Economics"

Now I undrestand why dominican politicians, businessmen and mentally healthy regular dominicans seem comfortable with Haitians .

Only the lunatics, the paranoids, the schizophrenics ,the mentally challenged are posting cacadoodoomierdas on DT against Haitians

Now let's see who the first schizoprenic is going to respond.

ateo is always quick to point out that Haitians eat mud cakes and that he eats sancocho, rice with beans and chicken.
One thing that ateo does realize that he and the Haitians they carry pounds of stinking shit in their guts.

sometimes one needs to humble certain posters ,make them face their own mortality and make them face the biological functions that they have in common with other human beings.
It is by doing so one may be able to curb their vainess, their ignorance,and their vanity that cloud their common sense .
Lack of common sense leaves them with no sense of decency ,leads them to intolerance , bigotry,absurdity ,brutality and cowardice.
At the end of the day, if ateo and the other enraged lunatics in this forum die in shot summer day, their bodies need to be placed immediately in a cold storage or the will turn black, will be swoolen by the actions of the bacteria inside their guts.
The 182 types of bacteria on their skin which they claim makes them superior to Haitians will cause the skin to form blisters with serous fluid
SEE HOW FRAGILE WE ARE.
SEE HOW SCARED ATEO , RIOS, MS-JERSEY are now ????

etiennec, i am sympathetic with your quest to drum some sense into the heads of the aforementioned neanderthals, but you might reconsidered your tactics, and your prospects. using the language you have chosen to apply tends to debase you, and reduce you to their level, if that is at all possible. besides, sometimes it is a good idea to pick your battles. expend your efforts on ventures with prospects of success. trying to educated the guys you mentioned is a feat which cannot be accomplished in one hundred lifetimes, let alone yours.

Dread,

Ateo is 15. Remember when you were 15 the awkwardness, trying to find your identity. Don't be too harsh. He will either change and I think he will being in the states or he will continue with his usual mudcookie diatribe. Either way you must be the voice of reason and compassion.
