The Dominican Republic joined Petrocaribe in September 2005.

It is a country that relies entirely on oil imports, and oil fuels everything from vehicles to the island's uncertain electricity supply.

Lucia Newman reports from the Dominican Republic, on how it needs all the help it can get from an alliance like Petrocaribe.

  • Chavez over Bush in a heart beat.

  • The Caribbean may not be much but both states in Central and or South America would have great potential if they unified. South America has several amounts of resources and other wealth. The only problem is that the United States would continually attempt to destabilize and stop such proceedings by pitting one state against another. Just like how they use Colombia. A democratic and federated South America would be powerful. An so would a unified Central America.

  • It's great that there's a world leader like Hugo Chavez who seems genuinely concerned about the welfare of poor countries, as shown by his providing low cost oil to the Dominican Republic in this news item. He's the one world leader I admire the most.

  • everything they said is true .....John The Dominican lol.... funny

  • And you know what's funny too?

    I'd bet that woman they interviewed about the electricity and is complaining about the service,does not have a meter in her house..Guaranteed! and that's the kind of people they try to get for their negative propaganda!

  • 90 % IT'S BULLSHIT,Aljazeera sucks!

  • ok tell me what it is not true..........give me one sample

  • al jazeera sucks. point blank. what they say is 50% true.

  • what propoganda u are talking about.........and what's better then al jazeera

  • no AL JAZERA is full of propaganda. they are the worst

  • I dont mean to be rude, and I hope you dont curse me out for saying, but you are in serious need of a socio-world economics class...you need to understand how globalization has and is playing a part into why there are certain countries who thrive and others that do not. It has nothing to do with America being great..its alot more complex then that.

    Do you ever wonder why those "hungry ass Africans" are so hungry, but yet they live in a country that has large amounts of natural resources?
