Is human life worth nothing in this country? A young man named Joseph from Newtown went off on an expedition reportedly with a Haitian captain of a boat owned by a Dominican to drop off haitians in Guadeloupe. He has not returned up to now although the boat returned. He is feared dead with all kind of stories. Up to now there is no news story about him as a missing person. The captain nor the owner of the boat have not been arrested for questioning and held to account for the young man’s life. What the hell is going on? In the meantime we hear alot of talk by politicians about interest in the youth. Shame shame shame!
Blood Money!!!!!
My deepest condolences to the Families and Friends.
The police should be more professional. The body was brought to the marigot bay exposed for the paparazzi to click away. That was gruesome. The lady should have been covered. After all non of us would like it if it was our mother sister or daughter
You are now conforming that the body found was that of a woman, then I’m not aware that any woman was reported missing
With radar technology and working closely with Martinique/ Guada its very very easy to shutdown human trafficking in the northern and southern channels. Two coast guard vessels stationed in these channels 24/7 to monitor, apprehend and perform search and rescue is as easy as 1 2 3 if we have the right size vessels. We need 4 vessels of similar size to the Melville (now decommissioned) that can accommodate the men (eat, sleep, sheet
etc) and armed to the teeth just like the US does.
Once the criminal boats are spotted, we engage and apprehend. If they go past and enter French waters the French will get them. Instead of having compassion towards our Haitian brothers we are facilitating their death while government stand by and watch…any idea why? Ask the northern parlreps of the Skerrit Labor Party (SLP)
A Haitian, a Haitian a Haitian. Last week we had a very close call at the Douglas/ Charles airport, when a plane from Santa Domingo crash landed here with 29 Haitians on board, as part of an ongoing human trafficking between Dominica and someone or company in Haiti. We know Saturday night a small boat from the Northeast left with a number of Haitians on board experienced some difficultly on sea and the boat did not make it to it’s final destination of Guadeloupe or Martinique. We understood that the captain was found alive but no word on passengers, except that the Skerrit propaganda machine aka police said one juvenile from that boat is missing but nothing about the many Haitians that left on that same boat. But the truth is, we can run as much as we want but we can’t hide. We can do what we want in the dark but our sin will find us out and will be revealed in broad daylight.
The sad thing about human trafficking that we have taking place here is, we have record of those Haitians that arrive here but we don’t know how many of them escaped through backdoor to Guadeloupe or Martinique and, very sadly we don’t know how many of them died at sea. Who knows, some dying and their families never get to know that so they could at least give them a wake. That cannot be good for Dominica no matter what Mills or anyone would try to say.
THIS MAY NOT BE HUMAN “TRAFFICKING”, because human trafficking would involve taking them into forced labour or forced prostitution. Our Dominican boatmen are simply taking them to another country illegally (breaking immigration laws).
It is not good for Dominica at all. Recently my friend who was in transit in Guadeloupe was stopped as soon as they recognized it was Dominican passport and was intereogated .Luckily, for them they had a valid reason. You see the trafficking of these Haitiana will make it very difficult for us. The authorities need to do something now. I know most of them have their diplomatic passports.
It looks like the body of a Haitian. We might run into a lot of difficulty identifying this body because there might be so many Haitians buried at, trying to make it to Guada or Martinique.
You must’ve been the one that throw the body in the ocean so you would know is a haitian sakway sot ban egare. Alot of you all act like you are better than haitian people. Haitian people work very hard for what they want thats why they risk their lives alot. Unlike majority dummy nicans that lazy and dont like to work they like to sell drugs and steal bikes thats why many of them see an early grave. You all got worst things to worry about than haitian people at least some aint trying to stay in your country and be useless.
Go straight to Martinique and Guadeloupe. Just go straight. Don’t pass, don’t stop, and don’t come, So that way you don’t leave any marks here.
