Santo Domingo.- Juan Pablo Uribe, president of the Permanent Commission for Patriotic Commemorations, expressed his discontent with recent accusations by the Haitian Foreign Ministry about alleged mistreatment of its citizens in the Dominican Republic. During the centenary commemoration of the US military evacuation at the National Pantheon, Uribe defended Dominicans’ actions and criticized the international community’s failure to meet its commitments to Haiti.
Uribe lamented that the Dominican Republic continues to bear the “dead weight” of the Haitian crisis, maintaining an extremely supportive stance in areas such as maternal assistance and education.
“A Haitian who feels mistreated has his country at his side,” said Uribe, implying that Haitians who feel mistreated can return to their own country.
He rejected the accusations of mistreatment, emphasizing that there is no inhuman treatment in the Dominican Republic, but rather a supportive attitude towards Haitians.
“The international community must honor its commitments to Haiti,” Uribe reiterated, urging international organizations to take responsibility for the Haitian crisis.
finally someone speaks up.
What do you mean by “finally”? That is all a lot of people have been doing (speaking up).
The funny thing is that everyone would be crying, when all their construction growth slows to a crawl.
Exactly. No one is forced to stay where they don’t feel welcome. Plain and simple.
So, the only options are to be abused or leave? I wonder how you would feel when faced with the same decision by another group of people. Be careful. It could happen faster than you think.
How about not returning Haitians that have been here for years ? There are many youth that grew up in Dom Rep. These are Haitian kids that speak only Spanish. They want to live a happy life and enjoy what should be the best years of their lives. Instead they are jailed by local police because they are Haitian ; and are always afraid of being deported. This practise should stop until the situation in Haiti is safe enough for families to return.
This is a big conundrum… people of Haitian blood born and raised in the RD are not welcome in the RD, a people without a country. Wish leaders were blessed with the wisdom of Solomon to correct this unfairness.
they have their country. Haiti
