Gonaives, Haiti - One year ago the coastal town of Gonaives was battered by a series of powerful hurricanes. 1000 died and the financial cost reached US$800 million dollars or 15% of Haiti's GDP. Now the town is fighting to get back on its feet and is taking measures to reduce its vulnerability to future storms. But life is tough in Gonaives and with continuing deforestation leaving the surrounding hills bare and unprotected the potential for future disasters remains very real.

you need help! I am sure that if DR was on the lower end of the stick the same problems would exsist. You have to remember that there are bad seeds on both sides of the border. There are many people that get along are help each other.

Why don't you stop hating and thank god that you got out of the island into a 1st world country?

His "superiority" causes him to spend all his time in a Dominican forum...

I'm sorry but most Haitians are just a step above the stone age no matter what political correctness says and what these animals think about themselves!

If they are so proud then get the f..k out of my country and stop bringing your backwards "culture" into my country already infected by the Haitian virus!

Oupala is probably just like all other piti's talking crap living in a ghetto and working some dead end job but he comes to this forum to spread his verbal feces because in real life neither he nor his people are worth much.

Please piti,cross the Artibonito with some guns and invade DR so we you can show us what your other bonobo "generals" couldn't do when we whipped them over and over .

I must thank you for you sincerity though ,because it gives many doubters in my country a view of the enemy we are letting in and which we should send back to see Haiti explode into a million pieces!

That kind of comment shows black on white the level of your intellect. If you were smart, you'd understand pretty fast that living in a third world country doesn't mean being fitted with an underdevelopped brain, like most of you are showing on this Web site.

you clown. I never said anything about black or white... I said a women would not want a slime like you. Does slime = black or white??? well we know how you view the world.
do you hate your neighbor when he/she buys a shinny new car??? I think thats how you live life, always looking at what the other has and never try to better your own life

Why pics from Haiti? This is outside of the scope of what this site pretends to be Dominican Today!

Why are we continiously pushing these next-door neighbor hard luck stories on this site?

On a similar note: Do Israeli's need to be reminded of the conditions of the Palestinian by causing them to feel guilt about their living standard, and misfortunes?

Por supuesto, una correcta visión desde el Estado es lo que ha permitido que el sector privado colabore con el bienestar general, pero es la ética y la visión de la gente, su apego a valores de laboriosidad, honestidad, frugalidad y tolerancia, los que han asegurado el progreso económico, político y social en todos los órdenes.

You have adopted an attitude similar to Faustine Soulouque after his disastrous campaign on Dominican territory.
Let me remind you something that will help you reconcider all the nonesense you've spewed: La batalla de Azua (03/19/1844), la batalla de Santiago (03/30/1844), la batalla de Las Carreras (04/21/1849), las batallas gemelas de Santomé y Cambronal (12/22/1855)...We know how to fight for our piece of land.

As poverty and political turmoil continue to increase, human rights observers[who] report that the number of restavecs continues to rise dramatically. Most people will get rid of their restavecs by the time they turn fifteen, because a law was passed stating that at age fifteen all people must be paid. Therefore, these children are then thrown out into the streets to provide for themselves. Right now there are efforts being made to help these children in Haiti. There has been international exposure about the issue and this could strengthen the struggle to end this silent form of child labor. Restavecs were the subject of a 2009 episode of the television drama Law & Order.

In May 2009, over 500 Haitian leaders gathered in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti to discuss the restavec system and how to make positive changes to this complex problem. Leaders from all facets of society attended the full day session.

I maintain my opinion about you, because as I said, when people have such warm and sincere interactivity with other people from other races or nations, they don't usually trash them behind their back. You might be hypocrit enough to hide your true feelings while your were among the Haitians, but when you find yourself at some safe distance, you can't manage to escape your devilish habit which is to cowardly lambast them. And that my "friend," makes people like your more dangerous than a snake. In fact, with friend like you to watch his/her back, anybody is a potential candidate for a backstabing blow.

No! A coward and a racist will always stay equal to him/herself, because he/she can't take any decision with an independent mind. In fact, he/she always need the comfort of the crowd in order to sneak attack or to take a position against or for something. I bet you'll never find the courage to talk that good about Haitians when you are among your "role models".

One can see clearly that some personalities like Lautaro, imeja, jarabacoa, Etienn1 and some good other fellows are very rare species here. They are even much more civilzed than me due to the fact that I've never caught them with foul language even when they get on my country case.

Any devil can claim to come from a christian background. By the way, you don't have to know someone personally in order to mount a profile of his character and personality. What I have found out is that you the Dominicans are suffering from an acute denial syndrom. It is very understandable on a psychologic point of view : when you suffer from an acute syndrom of inferiority doubled with an acute jealousy, you tend to fear and to hate the cause of your syndrom.
And what we are witnessing now is a Dominican nation that is aware of its possible assimilation by a stronger Haitian one.

If we were animated with the same feelings, it would be a long time ago since we would have been at your throat, but as far as your concerned, you don't have anything to be envied you for.
Although it is a distant past now, we've already been where you are at now, and after that little developpement facelift your country is parading, you don't have anything else to pull from your bag that would make us envious and jealous.

I suggest you go revisit your history books and compare their content to what is published in the World Litterature about the story of this island and you'll find out if we Haitians have something to envy to you. The bottom line is that you know that we are better

The ultimate causes of Haiti's misery are human. They are rooted in greed and power. Both the international community and Haiti's rulers have continuously assured the destruction of Haiti's colonial wealth and the creation and continuance of her misery.

The international community's role.
French colonial contribution.
The international boycott of the new nation of 1804.
The French debt of 1838.
The United States Occupation, 1915-1934.
Post World War II United States domination.
The role of Haiti's rulers.
Slave-like labor systems in the early republic.
The elite's protection of its wealth.

The international and national political climate of Haiti has assured her misery. But, little by little these forces have caused other factors to emerge that assure the continuance of Haitian misery even if Haiti were to secure good local government free from international intervention. (An unlikely prospect in either instance!) Some of the most noticeable secondary causes of Haiti's poverty are:

THE ELITE'S PROTECTION OF ITS WEALTH.
For the most part the 3% of the people who constitute the Haitian elite are descendants of those same families who were free prior to the independence of 1804. There is an elite which is mainly black and an elite which is mainly mulatto. These two groups have their own fights and battles, but in the few cases when the masses have attempted to rise up and assert the rights and needs of the people as a whole, the elite has rallied together using its wealth and power to crush the masses.

HAITIAN SELF-IMAGE
My own experience has been that large masses of Haitian people suffer from a self-defeating image of themselves. They know they are poor in a rich world. They have heard that they are ignorant and illiterate. They speak Creole and are told that this is not a "real" language, but a bastard tongue. They experience their own powerlessness and are told it is their own fault. Such a self-image creates its own cycle of misery. The victim, the masses of Haitian people, blame themselves for their own suffering.

piemman,

Who you really are boy? If you are an african from Liberia, I suggest that you show some respect for the only Negro Nation that has managed to save the honour of the Black race. I know a little bit about your country history. in fact, when the so called ex american slaves were granted the state of Liberia after the Secession War, the first thing they did was to use the native Negroes as slaves and domestics. They were kicked from power when the natives uprose.

I can understand your fiery meddling in our business, but you must realize that we're in a land were some tribal customs (except for voodoo) are not practiced anymore. The next time, try to spare us any stereotyped comments on your behalf by being more civilized for an African (if your are one of course.)

Mister piemman,

I don't want you to believe that the gentleman mirabueno and I are playing one two punches with you, because I don't like him enough to play tag team with him, but let me tell you that your booming entry in that exchange between us, is trivial and tribal at best and flagrantly lacks of protocol. This is the kind of behaviour that put Africa at the rear end of the civilized world.

You must understand that the real civilized human being doesn't impose his will on people, he/she seeks their collaboration. You must try to decipher the reasons why people act in a certain fashion before unleashing your misguided comments on them.

It was not my intention since the very beginning to comment on those pics, because I've already known what they represented. All my comments are vectored to the fact that the DominicanToday Web site has never published an article that doesn't show Haiti and its people under a pitiful and shameful image.

In fact, if you had taken the time to read all the comments, and most all, the one posted by ArsenioAlemberjr, you would have had a hint about why I am expressing so much displeasure. When I come to this site, it is to chat and exchange with fellow islanders, however, some of them (the most uneducated ones) are being brainwashed into thinking that we Haitians are the scums of the Earth.
Their sheer pride forces them to nurse a permanent sense of denial which obliges them to refuse to acknowledge any wrong doing. We have this very bad habit too back home, however, there are a few among us who were raised with the sense of pride and honour by their family. So lying and being scared to confront a foe are not part of their training.

I can't waste my time exchanging hatred with them, because it would have lower me at their level, but there's been a while since I swore to answer insult for insult with them, until they understand that they can't be that cocky with us. As a matter of fact, without us, their economy will be severed of the equivalent of the lion share of the 850 millions dollars a year bonanza generated by the transborder commercial traffic, which they are enjoying now. I'll still be available to remind them that and to lambast them back when they are missing us respect.

So my friend, if you don't feel competent enough to post your own comments on the article, don't try to lecture people about how to interact in a blog, besides, you are not a moderator.

We the Negroes of the Americas, are civilized and rational, we might keep a remnant of brutality due to the long centuries we spent under the white man whip (thanks to you the African slaves traders), but we are mature and civilized enough to not repeating the kind of atrocities you, from the Mother Continent, are comitting against each other. So, if you have nothing else with a relant of positivism to say, just shut the f*ck up and return to your tribe and your herd.

A military-led coup in 1980 overthrew then-president William R.

Today, Liberia is recovering from the lingering effects of the civil war and related economic dislocation.

According to Coupala, the island should be a haitian republic with the Samana Peninsula with Dominicans crammed into it.

If that was the case, the Samana Peninsula would be largest economy in Central America and the Caribbean, there would be a great wall in Salcedo keeping haitians out, the Samana Navy would have to be on the look out for boats crossing from Ato Mayor y Neiba and there would be millions of illegal haitians working on farms, houses and constructions in Samana City, there would be a Sonia A-pie crying her ass out for samanense citizenship the the rest of the island would be a desert with people eating mud pies, cutting the last remnants of the National Parks and Santo Domingo the long wished capital of the haitians would be a shanty town with people defecating in front of the national palace.

Imejia,

I still think that you are a decent being, however, it looks like you've been caught in the delusion and denial game. I can understand that you want to side with your brethren, however, impartiality is not something strong in people with a lack of character. The difference between most of your countrymen and I is the fact that when I was a kid I was raised with the concept of telling a friend that he is wrong (if he is) before I join the battle at his side. I have noticed that you the Dominicans, and for what I can contemplate from your behaviour and body language, are very childish about admitting your wrong doing, and on this, you are not different from us or from any other island nation of the Carribean. Being given we've already have the opportunity to chat about a controversial subject (feminism), I thought that you were someone above partisanship (according to your comments), however, it wasn't the case unfortunately.

When you are caught wiht your pants or panty down, you are quick to go hide behind your defensing wall of accusing us Haitians of being the haters. Now you tell me, if we were the haters:
how many Dominican citizens have been murdered in Haiti?

How many times have you read an insulting and degrading article about your country in a Haitian media?

How many times have you read on a Haitian blog some heinous rethoric about the Domincans or their country?

How many times have you noticed that I deliberately use personal attacks against someone in particular?

The fact is that you have no matter of litigation that would have vindicated you when answering those questions. You love to use the term "hatred" because it has become a fall back word for you when you are caught in your heinous rethoric.

It is not difficult to understand that most of you are just pure liers since the birth date. In Haiti we have special terms for people like you, they are: "Rizèz" (women) and "Odasye" (men), and believe me, they are not ego flattering words. You can keep fooling yourselves, for I know that when kids play to much with a loved toy, they will finally break it.
For you will, one day, be forced to swallow that fallacious word/pretext of yours when life and history will sign you a reality check.

For your enlightment, I post the meaning of the term "Hatred". Feel free to go over it and try to understand that everything, the word point to as signification, reverts exactly to the kind of behaviour your people, your press and even your elected officials are practicing toward us.
You keep horning over all the rooves that we Haitians are the haters. Let me ask you a few questions, and maybe they will help vindicate either you the Dominicans or us the Haitians:

How many Dominicans citizens have been molested or murdered in Haiti for the past 200 years?

How many times have you read heinous or degrading articles in the Haitians media concerning your country?

How many times have you noticed me with up front heinous rethoric about your people and your country?

How many times have you heard elected officials in Haiti trashing the Dominican Republic in foreign medias?

You answer positively to a single one of these questions, and I'll agree that we Haitians are haters.

It is understandable that kids do not comprehend the meaning of all words, but they use them anyway, because they love how they sound. And you the Dominicans are so childish that you are not different from a kid by the way you are mixing the term "hatred" will all your sauces. I have to admit that at the beginning of my career as a blogger on this site, I thought that most of you were solidly educated folks, however, I think, for the time now, that your level of intellectuality is ridiculously low, even though you appear to have a more than average education.

The sad truth is that just by being on a computer and being able to write Oupala is one of the "upper echelon" of Haiti a land of supreme ignorance full of illiterates and with a culture that barely surpasses that of the cave dwellers.

Oupala is so self deluded that he actually believes all the crap he emits in DT but his countrymen are fleeing Haiti like rats jumping off a ship because reality is very different than oupalas fantasies of greatness...he probably laughs alone fantasizing about finishing Soulouques threats to DR and killing all of us (including the chickens) but we should ignore animals like this because nothing is to be gained by such a waste of oxygen and while he dreams in his ghetto basement of Haitian greatness we should strive to improve our nation with the first order being sending his compatriots back to the paradise of "Haiti Maudite".

“I live in the good o USA... All I have to worry about is the country that I live in.”

I am pretty sure that you hardly speak Spanish in public and brag around to be of Dominican origins. In fact, if I were you, due to the rise of the anti foreigner feeling that is slowly but steadily making its way throughout the American population, I’d rather really start reviewing seriously my social economic status, and prepare myself to move to Canada like so many of your nationals have done : some of them live nearby in my neighborhood. Unless you'd do like some Jews did during Holocaust time by siding with the Nazis in order to hunt down and destroy their own brethren. You must remember that Hitler was also a Jew.

To have me doing that for you, would have been the equivalent of wining one of the mammoth lottery jackpots in the USA, and I don’t think in your whole lifetime you’d have ever enjoyed such a lucky break, because flipping humbergers at Mc Donald and Burger King is not enough to allow you to even pay yourself a common babysitter.

Meanwhile, if you were living in Canada, I don’t think I would have even bothered casting a glance at your small person, because you’re not even that good at lying. As a matter of fact, people who drive hummer these days, must be able to afford it and you my friend, with the catastrophic economical situation in which your good old USA is finding itself in, I don’t think even middle classers can afford to drive around with Hummer, unless you do not know what type of vehicle you’re bragging about, or you are a coke dealer.

He has no life and is so wrapped up with our country that he spends most of his time in a Dominican site for if I were a proud Haitian with such a "glorious" past I would not even venture into the forums of such "inferior" people.

You will never see me in a Haitian site arguing with Haitians because I could really care less what Haitians think or have to say ...my biggest concern is traitorous Dominicans .

My dear friend Pepe,

It appears that I am really getting under your skin, because you are beginning to lose your sense of Geographical orientation. You can see now what happens to little kids when they talk too much with their mouth full of it. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
Thanks anyway to pea soup brains like you, I am having a real wonderful fime

These are the real world Dominican Republic socio economic facts, and I am pretty sure my friends the moderators will be fuming at this. If you delete this, you should go and delete the Web page where I found them.
http://www.dominicanfoundation.com/dominican_republic.asp

Oh! By the way. There is plenty of inaccuracy on that Web site. Likewise you're are so eager to look better than us that you are trying to steal even our history. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOOOOOL.

("Christopher Columbus discovered the "new world" by first landing on the island of Hispaniola - what is today the Dominican Republic.") LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL,

Please somebody help me! I can't laugh anymore. No! I've already taught you all the facts about this island history, therefore, I am not going over them again if not to remind you that:
1- Chritopher Columbus landed at the Môle St Nocolas inlet and not in the Eastern side of Haiti.

2- There were more than one million Arrawaks, Tainos and Caribes living on the island when he landed.

3- There weren't only Taino indigenous liiving on the island. As I said, there were also Arrawaks and Caribe whose Kacik were in the order: Guacanagaric and Caonabo, without forgotting our beautiful Queen Anacaona from Yaguana (the actual Haitian city of Leogâne.)

4- If your population is nine millions strong, why are you complaining about us overunning you? I can understand that you wanted to inconspicuously include in the count the more than large Haitian Dispora and the Domincans of Haitian ancestry.

These are the little mischief I have discovered in that Web site text and I found it quite useful and gratifying to set the record straight. As you can see, I don't waste my time lambasting people with empty rethoric, I do it with facts.

My French Canadians and I are betting right now on how long it will take the moderator to delete or blurred those comments of mine. LOL

Well, I don't know if I have to be mad at the moderators, or if I must congratulate them for their tolerance, because I just lost 20 canadians dollars. As a matter of fact, I bet it would take between ten minutes and three hours to see my posts gone. I might win anyway, but I won't get any money from it.

Sob! sob! sniff! sniff!

You should have sent that money to feed some poor Haitian children ,but you can do whatever you want with your daily wage..

Thank you Pepe for the suggestion, but I think those needy Haitian children will do without me even if I don't send them any money. In fact, they've been weathering the storm for nearly four hundred years, so they know how to beat it.
What you should have advised me to is to help them catch a fish instead of giving them one from now and then, but I am pretty sure next time you'll come up with something better.

What a selfish cheapskate and frikin hypocrite !

"but I think those needy Haitian children will do without me even if I don't send them any money."

So they can become restaviks or sell their butts to the UN soldiers.....

You spend all your time in a Dominican site writing crap about Haiti but when it comes to your money you prefer to spend it on a stupid bet than to help someone out!!

BTW even teaching someone to fish costs money cheapskate.

I realize you don't care about Haitians all you care about is your stupid pride and your fantasies of greatness ,tell your friends what an arse they hang out with.

Don't you worry my friend. You won't have another direct shot at me, because I made a promess to some friends that I won't go tit for tat anymore with frustrated folks. In fact, I am glad they are on their way to extinction, and that is sad.

Good riddance!

With people like you as the scarce literates and few who could do something it is no wonder Haiti is where it´s at!

You talk and fantasize about dead Haitians but you don´t really care about the real ones and then you have the nerve to criticize my people and my country!

You don't get rid of me my friend because I'll always be here. On the contrary, we've got rid of you. Can't you realize that you are among the minority now?

que "maidito" loco este piti...


Oupala ,you are one pitiful creature ... you don't care about poor Haitians at all ,just spreading your HBO in the forum and your world renowned Haitian ignorance in the internet!

My father once told me about Haitians that used to clean in his place of work ,they used to dress up in suits and tie because they wanted to show their importance ...that is probably oupalas problem ,he cleans toilets during the day and builds up all this anger which he vents in this forum.
This is the only release this poor tortured soul has since he cannot help his compatriots with a cleaning mans salary so he brings his idiocy to DT .

Incredible how one piti can bring a whole forum's intellectual coefficient down much like his compatriots have brought much of the ignorance we have in DR today!

C'mon Pepe,

Don't cheat, you've been already registered in the deranged and retarded list. You don't have to show up again to register in order to show to all that you are the most retarded among them all.
Just give other retarded a chance to check in. LOL LOL LOLLLL

Jesus christ people ! relax both The Dominican Republic, and Haiti are undeveloped coutries granted one has been more fortunate than the other. Either way we're on the same boat there is as much poverty in the Dominican Republic as well as in Haiti.
