'Dominican Republic' News and Current Events

Dominican Republic

The main accusation has been that of racism because the Haitian population is mainly black in skin, while the Dominicans are basically mulatoes, or light skinned.

Plus both countries have a history of conflict due to the fact that Dominican independence in 1844 was from the Haitian invasion forces.

This has left a long history of conflict as the Haitians constantly tried to reconquer the eastern part of Hispaniola island during many years after the independence.

After the recent earthquake, the Dominican government has strived to prove that it has all the best intentions regarding Haiti.

In this respect, it has announced that it will build a university for 10, 000 students in haitís capital, Port au Prince.

This is the final proof of its good will and love for the Haitian people.
