I lived both in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

You are right, the Haitian diaspora has given up on Haiti.

I met countless numbers of Haitian diaspora vacationing in the Dominican Republic.

I asked them, "so, after this trip, are you going to take Caribe Tours (bus from Santo Domingo to Petionville) and go to Haiti?

All of them say, I will never go back to Haiti.

That is why we come to DR to feel closer to home. There is no security in Haiti and I am afraid of getting kidnapped." That is a shame that Haitians have to go next door to DR instead of going to Haiti.

Worst of all, Dominicans in general do not like Haitians.

Greg These are the same Haitians who keep crying, whining, mourning, and shouting for change in Haiti, their own country. Every time I hear those Haitians plights for change in Haiti, I cannot help but to think about Coupe Cloure's song/moso/mu > >

One star that does care about Haiti is Wyclef. Wyclef said in a TV interview that he wants to make a major dent in the situation in Haiti. If he can present "the diaspora remittances sacrifice" idea to Preval's administration, it may influence a pa > >
