Dominicans ARE NOT the worst Haiti’s enemy, the Haitians themselves are…..
-
Well, the fact that there are not trees in Haiti is not because of sugar plantations, its because they are cut down for fuel.
-
Leave us alone, help us, leave us alone, help us...
-
The suggestion that most of the deforestation in haiti occured during french rule is incorrect.
-
Shocking lack of historical knowledge about the foundation and history of Haiti.
-
How come when they praise the Haitian Revolution, they never mention how in 1822 the Haitian army marched into the eastern side of the island (today known as Dominican Republic) and occupied it for 22 years, until the Dominicans fought for their independence against the Haitians?🧐
-
You lost me at “you know, racism”. Be more professional, now I can’t stop thinking that this is some middle schooler presentation.
-
What will the Kenya police do different? security in Kenya has been a big issue for decades, if they can't solve these issues in Kenya, how will they do it in other countries?
-
As Dominican I hope that those problems in Haiti ends is the best for all of us.
-
Isn't like Haiti never invaded the Domincan Republic right? Right?
-
"Could it be the Haitians themselves who bear responsibility for their own country? No, it's the entire world except the Haitians who are at fault"
-
The premise is wrong as is much else. - As late as 1960, Haitian per capita GDP was higher than the DR. -in no other country are current circumstances only ‘understood’ by events that happened more than 200 years ago -painting Haiti as the permanent victim state might feel good to outsiders, but it only reinforces the false premise that Haiti is bound to always fail. Shallow and infantilizing.
-
UPDATE: The Kenyan high court ruled the move to send officers unconstitutional. The police are not mandated to engage in duties outside of Kenya and also their job is to protect and enforce law and order in Kenya only. Only the army can travel overseas for peace keeping missions.
-
I like how they omitted the hatian economic rebound but continue to blame their modern political instability on the west. "France could've forgiven its debt".
-
I would love just one of these videos to explain what proportion of Haitis failure is their own fault? They pretend Haiti would be Monaco if it weren’t for foreign interference
-
Didn't Haiti lose its forests and vegetation much later than that?
-
Lack of leaders that are honest and corruption free are a large part of the problem. Not to mention rampant crime and gangs controlling large areas and going unchecked.
-
The soft bigotry of low expectations, well done DW😂
-
This isn’t DW’s best work. The tone is unserious. I suspect this will just be chopped up into clips for TikTok and YouTube short reels for children.
-
Who thought this was a good script? To however approved it. Hats off to you, you made the worst most biased piece of DW yet
