Santo Domingo.-  Two Russians, man and woman, were arrested Tuesday in two raids in Punta Cana, La Altagracia (east) and Sosua, Puerto Plata (north), on international arrest warrants.

Daria Vinogradova was detained in connection with drug trafficking, whereas Vladimir Kondrashin was wanted for alleged fraud.

Dominican Interpol agents made the arrests in coordination with National Investigations Dept. (DNI) officials, after gathering intelligence for several weeks in those communities.

Vinogradova was arrested on charges of drug trafficking and criminal conspiracy, while Kondrashin was a fugitive in a case of fraud.

Both foreigners are in being held in Dominican Interpol headquarters awaiting Russian agents who’ll escort them to Moscow.

for at least 9 years i have know of the russians running a lady for sale thing in the pop area. very high price one spends a week with a lady of their choice in the pop area.
if i remember the price was like $5-7 thousands of dollars for the week.
guess they picked the right business in the dr.
the only thing i did not like was it beneficial for the locals of the pop area? they gain nothing this low-life selling of women for dollars {they where not dominicans they where selling}
guess only the local puerto plata police make a few dollars from this business.
choo choo train.
all aboard the russian express.
in la-la land.

Wow, I have seen that look before in Jamaica (the guy on the left). Drunk Tourists! Too many rum punches at the midnight reggae jams beach party and the guys who pass out on the sand all wake up with the same face. The morning sunshine burning on their foreheads usually wakes them up. They stagger back to their hotel rooms a little lighter - no wallet, no watch, no ring.

Democratic Republic of Congo offered help to Haitians
Senegal offered free land to any Haitians who wanted to "return" to Africa.

On 1/17/2010, Senegal's President Abdoulaye Wade said he was offering free land to any Haitians who wanted to "return" to Africa.
"The president was offering voluntary repatriation to all Haitians that wanted to return to their origin," said Mr Wade's spokesman, Mamadou Bemba Ndiaye.
Responding to the Senegalese offer, Mr Mende said the government wouldn't certainly reject any Haitians if they wanted to move to DR Congo.

Some Congolese had criticised the offer. After years of conflict, which is still raging in the east, millions of people live in poverty.

On the other hand,Haitian citizens rejected the offer and showed no interest on returning to their land of origin.

Black American on Haitian Hate? Teacher Suspended for Calling Student ‘Chocolate Nobody Wanted’
March 7, 2012.

Leslie Ranier, a 46 year old South Florida reading teacher, has been suspended for ten days without pay after being accused of making racial slurs against a black child in her class. The catch here is that Ranier herself is black, and the Superintendent has found that the remarks she made to the student were a form of discrimination against him as a Haitian-American.

The Superintendent, Robert Runcie, says that Ranier’s recent remarks are part of a larger pattern of her ”inappropriate conduct towards her part-Haitian, minority descent students,” and that she had ”made a statement to a student that, ‘I wish they would put you in a boat and send you back where you came from.’…and also] told a student to stand in the corner near a garbage can because ‘that’s where he belongs.” In spite of having been counseled on this matter Ranier was caught doing it again,this time caught on video.

How Haiti Changed my Thinking about Race and Politics.
I lived in Haiti during its most recent presidential election, the first since an earthquake leveled most of Port-au-Prince, killing hundreds of thousands.
In Haiti there is a massive divide between rich and poor. But there are also racial factors influencing both this economic reality and the political process. The elite, who control 95% of the nation’s wealth, are generally mulatto or of mixed European-African decent, while the poor and destitute, who have next to nothing, are usually darker skinned. Few dispute the fact that the privileged minority in Haiti, those who believe themselves superior at least in part because of their lighter skin, manipulate elections to benefit themselves,keeping the vast majority of Haitians in dire poverty and advancing their own economic interests.

Hatik; You have some kind of low self esteem problem. This is why you space out all of your masturbatory posts, taking such long screen space with just about no content whatsoever. Why do you think a public forum should take the place of the intense professional therapy that you are lacking?

This racial divide in Haiti,is a love-hate relationship amongst Haitians.
Darker skinned Haitians either hate or mostly look up to lighter skinned Haitians.I also had the opportunity to learn about a racial slur,as shocking as it may sound,used amongst darker skinned Haitians: "kakadyab" meaning "devil sh*t.

Most Africans brought to Haiti were of the Yoruba people in Benin. However, this is due to the Dahomey kingdom conquered territories; which were assimilated through intermarriage, uniform laws, and a common tradition of enmity to the Yoruba. The non-Yoruba Africans came from the Kongo and Angola, with most coming from the region in which the Kongo people resided. Be mindful that the Kongo and Angola people were also intermingle with the Yoruba people. In other words the Yoruba people were all over the west part of Africa. If anything, they were considered to be the largest group of people in the west parts of Africa.
