Nationals of the Dominican Republic residing in Dominica, on Sunday 26th February, celebrated their country’s Independence which is officially observed on February the 27th.
Several members of the Dominican Republic community here gathered at the D’lo Cho area at Layou on Sunday to celebrate the occasion.
That area, which was recently hit by devastating floods, reverberated to the sounds of merengue, bachata and reggaeton as our Spanish speaking guests and some of their Dominican friends ate drank and made merry at the scenic riverside.
The Dominican Republic, which comprises the eastern two-thirds of what was initially known as the island of Hispaniola, was officially declared independent from Spain on February 27, 1844, and the name República Dominicana (Dominican Republic) was adopted.
The remaining one third of the island makes up the country of Haiti.
live them people alone some Dominicans in ppl country committing more crimes than other Haitians, and other nationals
Does anyone know how many there are.
I am still trying to understand why people from DR migrated to Dominica so much so that the DR community is organizing an independent day observation. I have no objection but somebody explain to me what did the lovely DR people came to Dominica for – is it for job opportunities, is it strictly love relationship, certainly not education. Just curious- my Ex is of DR origin and have been there a few times. Love the DR

To you DNO contributors and critics are u guys are aware of the the fact that we have our own locals Dominicans all across the globe? so wats ure point.
love the Dominican republicans. I mean all those I tasted. Yo dou Hahahaha!!!!
Good luck to you all Dominicans, no wonder the island is infested with crime time will tell, and some of you want to blame it on your nationals
Shut up!! Plain and Simple!!
BVI…Maybe You are the reason there is crime in the BVI!!
Whats your point.. having an immigrants are the ones who commit crime? It ALWAYS ASTOUNDS me how nativeas of ANY country can be so racists/ discriminating against immigrants! You need to travel and then for it to happen to YOU in another mans land!
Stop being a “DONKEY” you don;t want nobody in Dominica but you well overseas in someone else land. I HOPE U NOT ONE OF THOSE GIVING US NO BAD NAME…STUPS.
What a ignorant and ill thought comment.
AND this is comming from someone residing in someone elses country.
It is claimed that travel broadens the mind, but alas not for all of us.
DNO this is news – I can tell you so – to me it is. Did not know we have a Dominican Republic population – INTERESTING!!!
Do we have a welcoming committee in Guadeloupe, ANtigua, St Martin, USA, England, France, China, Cuba etc? All those places where Dominican observe their independence? SMDH
Dominicans are moving to China or they are students. Hunter’s song said “Samting Wang”. Samting is really Wang.
When is the next flight to China I need to get my ticket
Being in people’s countries does mean we are welcome there. Have you heard of ANTI IMMIGRANT.
