Dominican Republic

Dominican Soldiers - the Armed Forces of Dominican Republic have about 44,000 active-duty personnel and they have work to do compared to Haiti

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.

High Speed Internet Access in the Dominican Republic compared to Haiti

How does High Speed Internet Access in the Dominican Republic compare to Internet access in Haiti in terms of price and availability. Let's take a look...

Let's compare internet access in the Dominican Republic to internet access in Haiti.

In the Dominican Republic right now, a customer will have at home high speed internet with a speed of 10 Mbps, cable television with up to 150 channels and 400 minutes on a home phone, all of that will cost 1949 pesos. That's about $39 us.

For 500 pixels more, roughly $10 US more, that same customer will get a higher speed internet access that is up to 30 megabits per second.

Let's compare that to Haiti.

First of all, as of August 2018, there is no such package in Haiti. Internet access at 1 megabits per second in Haiti cost $55 US, just for the internet, and it's not even operating at that promised speed of 1 megabits per second.

You do the math.

A Trailer load of recycled plastic bottles en route to be recycled in Dominican Republic from Haiti was returned by order of the Dominican Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources.

Supposedly, its Haitian trash, "fatra" in Creole, and they don't want it.

Dominican newspaper El Dia reported there are laws in the Dominican Republic which prohibits the importation of "waste" into the national territory to prevent toxic substances from affecting the health of people or ecosystems.
