I received this picture from a young Haitian American diaspora who decided to enjoy her sunny Caribbean vacation in Boca chica, Dominican Republic when she could have been chilling in Haiti but...

She wanted to go to the beach and enjoy a few days off hard work in New York. Instead of going to Haiti where are there exist many beautiful white sandy beaches, she decided to go to the neighboring Dominican Republic where the sun shines the same and at least it's safer.

Sure could have been at a Cotes-des- Haiti there is a very nicem all-inclusive Beach Resort Hotel there but how can she get there safely with all that insecurity in Haiti.

Too bad for the Haitian tourism industry.

There is no justice in Haiti. We all know that. But some crimes, when left unpunished, will disrupt a community, a country, generations. The assassination of president jovenel Moise on July 7th 2021 is search a crime.

The call for justice in Haiti can have many different meanings.

Calling for justice in Haiti, a country where there is no Justice, is a cry for help. It means something really bad happened and we want those who did it to pay by any means necessary. We want them to learn to never do that again.

That's why in Haiti sometimes Justice is swift.

Sometimes in Haiti, when justice is not served in the courthouse. The Haitian people find other ways to give themselves Justice.

Dechoukaj for example is a form of people Justice.

Everyone was surprised to see how Haitians in general kept quiet and didn't react as expected when President Jovenel Moise died and his home, assassinated.

I think the people know who ordered the hit on the president and the people want the Haitian authorities to gather enough balls and confront these people for this crime.

Justice is not served in the for this crime, I would hate to see how the Haitian people choose those deal with those who did it when the time comes .

Sooner or later they will be taught a lesson they will never forget.

Being a soldier in the Dominican Republic does not necessarily mean that you're trained all day and get ready for war. 60 percent of the active duty personnel of the Dominican armed forces are used to guard non-military sites.

The duties oh Dominican Soldier, among other things, include guarding the border, guarding certain strategic points on the main roads and arteries, guarding the forests of the Dominican Republic, guarding the National Banks and gobernment and facilities. And also guarding high-ranking officials.

With all the different things that the Dominican military is used for, the police has more time to do police work.

Compare that to Haiti where the police does pretty much everything including serving as bodyguards for wives and girlfriends Haitian politicians.

I strongly suggest people in politics in Haiti take time to read the article below.

You will truly understand why a country like the Dominican Republic is moving forward and a country like Haiti is sinking deeper in the hole that President Donald Trump spoke about.
