Haiti's border

This is my photographic testimony to the events I witnessed in the Haitian border town of Ouanaminthe working for Jesuit Refugee Service in 2006.

sorry i dont have lyrics......if you speak kreyol I guess you could transcibe the lyrics yourself. If you don't speak kreyol I can't see how they can be helpful.....unless you want translation. If you speak French you should be able to understand most of it.

I dont know why the dominican govnt doesnt build a great wall on that border as we did here in the USA!!!! great problems need great solutions!!!!

This comment board is very informative. I stayed in the Dominican for a month. I love the culture. I aso love the Haitians. I love Haitian art and music, more though. There definately is still a strong predjudice agains Hatians in the DR. Pleae anybody who has more information speak up.

More info on prejudice? Think Israel vs Palestine; Apartheid; Slavery; Australia's stoleb generation - power, politics, race, class......but mostly money.

I'm from panama,but I live in United states. In Panama there are alot of dominicans and haitians that live there. But I always wonder why dominicans and haitians can't have unity. It's sad,because both countries are next to each other. I have love for haitians and dominicans,they're my brothers and sisters!!

@Jarabacoa k I agree with u thx for helping my country but why does ur people hate my people, why we are killing each other for stupid things why ? Now I think that we have to stop fighting coz it's been too long since we are fighting for stupid things like skin color and other stuff so man let's stop it n let's start a better life and a better friendship

[Olivier1345]

Yo li leu pou bagay sa fini II

Those things must be over we are fighting for stupid things coz if those things continue there will be a war between HT And DR .......

[cpaniagua4923]

We gotta blame France and Spain for all the problems between both countries. We were one island and they divided us. Now we got this issue going on and they dont do much to help us out.

@Jarabacoa1100 HEEEEELLLL NAAAAWWWWH! do you know what that would mean!?

[cpeigney94]

i have a lot of haitians friends that live in the DR, but they are more from the Upper class

[Jarabacoa1100]

dominicans are loving people! we were the first to help haitians during the earth quake! its time to change haiti's,dr constitution and make both country one single nation.
