Hi, a few quick essential points for historical accuracy.
Haiti only occupied DR under J-P Boyer for only 22 years and the Dominincans invited Haiti to take over ( yes they invited Haiti in) as protection against Spain.
So, they need to check their own historical archives before being mad about occupation.
The letter inviting Haiti to take over, the proof, is in Spain National Archives according to Bob Heinl.
I did not cite any name of any DR dictator, you did. The DR can deny their african ancestry all they want, but what is is. In fact, the latin former spain colonies try very hard to distance themselves from any african blood but again the mother land is the mother land and that's where mankind started.
so....
The two people need to come together and exchange apologies.
What happened was the Spaniard colonists did not exterminate the native population through enslavement like the French did on the Haitian side. So a number of DR people are clearly native taino.
But before Haiti's independence, the maroon slaves from St Domingue found safe heaven over the border into the DR. .
Unfortunately over the years, they have become more and more prejudice about skin complexion.
Well, Haiti must fix its internal affairs before dealing with the DR - Haiti antagonism.
Thanks
