Port-au-Prince.– Spain's deputy prime minister has pledged US$100 million to help revitalize agriculture in Haiti and rebuild roads and schools.

Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega says the Spanish government will provide the aid from 2009 to 2012.

Fernandez spoke Saturday at a news conference and urged Haiti to improve its security so Spain could continue investing in the Caribbean nation.

April food riots across the Caribbean nation left least at six Haitians and a U.N. peacekeeper dead. They also triggered an outpouring of international pledges in food and agricultural aid, though only a small fraction of the food has been delivered.

Herr Doktor Johann .. this is not much .. but still better than nothing .. but is the problem in Haiti just agriculture? roads? schools? .. how are they going to stop the brain drain that is bleeding Haiti of it's most important resource? .. it's people .. it's human labor .. development depends mainly on human labor .. the most important factor of production in a commodity producing society. Jawohl Herr Doktor?

I'm wondering how "Haitians" are going to react to this news since They always talking trash about Spain, same way when They try to kill, assasinate and destroy Leonel Fernandez few years ago.

Ver y positive news but once again what will be Their conspiracy or hateful opinions regarding this Spanish donation.

First of all the Fernandez conflict was at a time when reported lynchings of Haitians and mass repatriations in DR were at an all time high. Naturally the media fed off of this like the hungry sharks they are and therefore the news angered many common folk in Haiti believing the DR to be anti-Haitian. That's what caused the protest in the capital. Second of all just because Spain (or France for that matter) is donating money to Haiti doesn't absolve them of the oppression they caused along with the historical atrocities they committed. My problem with you Rubi is that you consider Spain a "motherland" and although it is surely your right to think so it bothers me that you would consider your colonizer as the "motherland". I along with many Haitians don't have any animosity towards the European countries. However considering them our "motherland"? I don't think so. My motherland is Haiti and if you really were patriotic then yours Rubi should be the Dominican Republic.

I'm grateful of the Spanish donation but I'm not going to worship them because of it. A simply thank you very much will suffice. If Spain were to face DR in volleyball at the Olympics for example would you support Spain? As a matter of fact knowing you off your past posts you probably would..

Hyakick: sorry to be unprofessional but just today find out that Haitians love and enjoy living in misery and are the most stubborn individuals on planet earth.
No wonder why countries don't invest a penny but instead just bother to donate since at the end it will always be a race or pride connotation .
If you guys enjoy your lifestyle then there is no reason to attack or blame others for your lack of accountability on your own failed actions.

Haitians feel everyone owes them something ,they love to play the victim so they will never be grateful to anyone no matter what they do .Their fantasy of greatness clashes with their stark reality creating a sort of national schizophrenia with a French Haughtiness combined with a slaves mentality of low self esteem which forces them to constantly scream to the world that Haiti is a great place though nobody in the world thinks so.

Any money invested in Haiti is money wasted because they lack the most basic of ingredients for progress...human capital! Haiti lost the only people who could run a country the moment they became independent just like Zimbabwe in modern times Haiti loves talking about freedom when they cannot even feed themselves and are wards of the world community to survive ...what proud and pompous creatures they are!

What the... are you talking about? You using that as a blank statement for all Haitians if any (stomach acid churning and boiling) is sick. I don't think anyone owes me anything. When I saw the headline of this article in the index of the homepage I was grateful and appreciative I could also see these responses springing up as well. No Haitian would give you or anyone else the pleasure of bowing their head down and not taking pride in their nationality and origins no matter how unfortunate the circumstance.

Whether or not you realize and accept Haitian historical importance is up to you but please don't be blind enough to state that it is in our "ego". You may say we're ungrateful and yadda this and yadda that and even if what you say is true it doesn't matter much to me because history is history and we've accomplished much in our long history and I'll always be proud of that.

It is sad to see young dominicans and haitians along in the diaspora stuck in the past and don't realise the circumstances and most of all healing.

They are not going without a fight. I would never take that route to DR via the north. Flights to haiti is packed which travels twice a day full of haitians and dominicans with money to afford that trip. While the poor of both country not can scrape 15 pesos to catch a publico. The flights have become so lucrative that other airlines are joining the competition. Imagine that a poor as country like the DR/Haiti have flights over 200 us for flying to the same island.

So I guess this anti-Dominican demonstration is something good for the Dominican goverment to continue to bend rules and regulations to please international comunnity and Haitians.

Were you brought over because of your scholastic achievements? This is not about hating spaniards nor defaming the DR which I am vehemently against. I will go along with you to the protest and veer them towards my own consulate or france's consulate. I mean every time someone that is dominican agree with the facts you call them a "haitian". If that's the case Trujillo was the biggest haitian that massacred his own people or maybe he along with you are direct descendants of spaniards. So stop your yappin and let's go to the protest together to stop the defamation of dominicans that is NOT a slaving haitians.

Why lautaro is respected because He is the Haitian puppy besides he is just a truth procastinator that preach made up wikipedia facts.
He didn't reply in a knowledgable and professional way but like a dysfunctional individual following the same sickening, racist and retarded caveman agenda.
Where in the heck he gets statistics from??

Plus antonioj what have your group prove yet that could be proactive, look at the big picture and instead of trying to demonize me and try to dictate guidelines to Dominicans in general last time I checked you guys were the united nations and ONU headache not us.

I'm starting to believe that Rubi wants to be Haitian deep down in his heart he wants to brag out how great his country is but he can't because his Dominican Republic had not accomplished anything of magnitude ever since it was created to be recognized by the international community. As for us Haitians we started the liberation of slaves and Freedom for all that's what we did. and according to the rest of the world that is a good thing the question is what has the Dominican's done?

NOTHING, NADA, RIEN, ANYEN.

Another reason why Haitians are better than Dominicans is....... most of us Haitians can effectively communicate in more than two languages. While most other nations are stuck in the bilingual dilemma we Haitians are in third gear heading for fourth NOW THAT'S GREATNESS.

In other words YES! I AM BETTER THAN YOU RUBI.

What about you, Rubi? Don't you ever tire of being the spaniards' lackey all the time? Here's a report for you to read: http://www.cedopex.gov.do/estudio....tradicionales_enero-mayo_2008.pdf

See? your wiki accusation is totally useless and groundless (as with the rest of your stupid remarks), and guess what? the report says that the US and Haiti are way more important in the trade balance of the DR than your "madre patria" (a silly concept if there ever was one), so, please, stop making yourself look like an utter simpleton, because you're embarrasing the good name of the dominican diaspora every time you open that useless mouth of yours.

With regard to your hateful, thoughtless and insidious comments, my parents always say that it is not every dog that barks that one turns around and pay attention to, another word we have to ignore ignorants like you.

With regard to Spain’s $100M donation to Haiti, we are certainly thankful and grateful, but one has to remember that “grand Haiti” or Hispaniola or St. Domingue, as the Spaniards as the Frenchs once called it, was the richest colony for either of those colonizers in 17th, 18th and 19th century, we helped made them what they have become. So I think it’s about time they return a little of what they took from us. If you see this comment as ungrateful, so be it, but it is a fact.

Lautaro, Rubi and others here are confirming the stereotypes that the dominican diaspora are still backwards or more from when they left the island but with a NYC ghetto mindset. I deeply apologise to the good dominicans in the diaspora who have used their opportunity to better themselves and succeed where it wouldn't of been possible if they were in the DR. Rubi, if you lived down here are stop chasing that barrio chick you would realise that Lautaro is telling you the truth. I have never seen an individual like you sucking on the spaniards d__ so much. As I said if you are there descendants walk to the nearest spanish consulate and demand what is rightfully yours. Imagine Rubi walking in there telling the spaniards that he is there descendant while the spaniards are wondering why this big nose thick lip mulatto is joking around and tell him the truth. Rubi do you have a spanish flag on your rear mirror rather than the dominican flag in the Hgts blasting bachata?

Rubi you don't care about the truth. I offered you my companionship to the protest and inform them that DR isn't enslaving haitians. BTW, the great from the dominican diaspora Junot Diaz participated in the protest. Is he haitian according to you because he is confronting the dominican elite and mindset. I dare you bash one of the dominican diaspora that has given dominicans hope reading and excelling in literature which is badly needed. Lautaro you heard this guy was at Carol Morgan telling it how it is while the yipeta gucci wearing snobbish women were uncomfortable with one of the diaspora calling them out and they can't do sh8t about it. Jajjaja..Also why is the dominican government escorting Caribe Tour with army CESFRONT all the way to frontier protecting them from mobsters upset that this will kill there business of transporting haitians whether legal or illegal from DR to Haiti and vice versa. Damn dominicans upset because their haitian route is getting competition. Irony

The truth of the matter is someday the Dominican Republic will reunite with its mommy HAITI once again and sadly HAITI will be the one on top. For the simple fact Dominicans are too arrogant. Their sense of superiority will fail them in the long run. The current progress they are making at the moment they haven't invested one dime in Haiti...Sure Haiti has cheap labor but they want the Haitians to come to them still and that is a mistake while the Haitian elite is not limited on the Island so some day when Haiti has acquired enough wealth they will dominate the island once Haiti.

Your sense of superiority will be your down fall Dominicans. Trust me. I personally have the same problem.

Of course we understand, rom. You and Rubi are too thick headed for your own good. Both of you are perfectly made for each other, in fact, you two could write a theatrical piece, which should run by the name "Foolish delusions: A selection from two hispaniolan expatriates". Trust me, it would be a smash hit. LMAO

On a more serious tone, you two represent the worst that our island have to offer to the rest of the world: the twin engines of destruction called White Supremacy and Black Extremism, this last most commonly known as Noirism. I don't know if to feel amused, sorry or angry by your constant, useless, and trashy drivel.

LOL you can't compare me to that lunatic. That's simply not fair Rubi worships the Spaniards as to Mr. Rom I bow down to no one. I have no equal. Am I flooded with blind delusional pride as Rubi put it "MAYBE" but unlike RUBI I have something to be proud of. Excuse me if I say My country kicked butt a few centuries ago and I have to make sure I remind every one of that once in a while. China was once a great Empire the fell now they are back on their feet only because they remember how and what they are and I never let other more powerful country intimidate me "Haiti" nor be little me because I "Haiti" know for a fact someday I "Haiti" will be back on top again. Like my good old friend Frank Sin. used to say That's life You might be on top in April and shut back down in May but its not over until its over.

The kid stays in the picture you know. Ultimately my dream is to one day see Haiti and the Dominicans reunite and kick butt together but unfortunately there are people like Rubi that are working hard to prevent that from happening and I have to be there to vanquish them every time and I can't do that by being Mr. Nice guy. I'm sure that you are aware of what is going on in Russia today Mother Russia wants its kids back they are living the old glory days at the current moment killing and ramping little Georgia now imagine some nut job from France or Spain decided to live their old glory days once again and if there's no Haiti to stop them do you see what I'm getting at?

Don't rely on the US of Fing A because Georgia is one of the strongest allies to the USA in the region and they are powerless to help them right now All bush has been able to do or say is "Russia stop, from many, many miles away.

The bloodline of the Strongest warriors from mother Africa flows through our veins if its not us then Who? but we need the support of the Dominicans. I'm old and tired Lautaro and sooner or later I will be dying but besides acquiring wealth I want to leave my children with more than money I want to start living the 1.000 years of peace now. I want to die knowing that HEY! for the next 1.000 years there will be peace.

This is why I fight. Sometimes you have to break an egg to make an omelet. If I have to run over 1.000 little Rubis to get to that peace period so be it.

A nation were most people are illiterate and the majority only speak a pseudo language although they know a couple of words in English ,Spanish or French does not make Haitians multilingual,until Haitians develop some humility and look in the mirror they will not learn because they fantasize of greatness while most of their population is backwards in all the important indicators.

Of course they are illiterate but that doesn't they don't speak the bloody language. The other part of Haiti they speak mainly Creole. and then you have the middle class and the Elites who speaks all for languages now when you combined the middle class the diaspora and the middle class it makes up for the percentage of Creole speaking majority thus Haiti is the best multilingual language in the world.

Zimbabwe another example of a failed state where the only people who knew how to run a country were expelled or killed making an agricultural exporter a nation of starving masses!

I can see by your writing in English what you call speaking multiple languages and in your haughtiness a sad picture of a backwards people who delude themselves into a false sense of greatness when the world is collapsing around them.

If you feel better than me without knowing me or anything about me that is your problem but in the context of general Haitian attitudes it doesn't surprise me.

I used to pity you but now I realize you don't deserve any such sentiments.

When I visit the DR I look out for hatians, I realize that they are a very important work force in the DR. My only problem is when you guys start posting negative info about the DR and blame us for your failure you seem like a smart poster so I apologize to u, but there are others that i just have to keep reminding tthat for good or bad DR is one of the few countries that actually helps Haiti and their ****ed up economic system so please to those of u hating ppls don't bite the hand that feed u

jose I'm sorry you have to deal with the likes of rom but he seems to be troubled much the same way carbelk99 and others seem to be troubled. Those posters are deemed provocateurs and all they contribute to the forum is perpetual verbal backlash from one group of posters to another. I certainly hope you can ignore those posters in order to seek meaningful debate and insight with more rational and well-informed posters on this site which abound in number. I am not one of those Haitian posters and I hope you are not one of those Dominican posters so I'd like it if we can just put the worst of what our countries have to offer behind us. Debate is actually a good thing when done in an objective and intelligent manner.

I accept your apology Jose and its okay. I understand why the conversation always takes that route. But I just hope you're not using that phrase "don't bite the hands that feed you" as some backward comment. There are Haitians who do work legally in the DR and there are those cane cutting por at least uno peso. So some that are being fed are also working to be fed.
