President of The Haitian Dominican Association Roland Desir has said that he is convinced that most of the world is ignorant about the real state of Haiti, despite what is shown in the media.
Desir told a press conference organized by Digicel this morning, that what has been publicized by the media is only a small glimpse of what the real situation is in Haiti.
“All yesterday, I have been calling; there have been tremors, all yesterday afternoon. It’s only this morning they had on the internet of the 6.1 that hit. But all yesterday they calling me and I talking to them, they telling me they still feeling shaking… They [people] need to understand the magnitude of what happening down there,” the president said.
“I call my stepfather… He said to me what you are seeing on TV we are seeing it too, it is nothing compared to what we are living here,” Desir said.
According to Desir, he learnt that residents were being asked to move from the flat areas to more mountainous terrain because of the risk of a tsunami due to the earthquakes. He said that this has resulted in scores of residents rushing up to these mountainous areas. They are all sleeping outside.
Desir also added that while there are a few persons who have money, there is a very low supply of food or water.
“They told me that, Roland… we have the money, but we don’t have no food…Our mouth getting split because we have no water. That is something that you all have to understand…Their lips are being split by the cold, because they are sleeping outside; they cannot sleep inside and they are thirsty,” the president said.
Desir described another situation which caused additional panic for residents in Haiti last night.
“And worse again, something happen last night again. The rain was drizzling and everybody panicked. … They panicked just because they sleeping outside… They are on the concrete on the street sleeping, if rain is falling what going to happen, will they sleep under that rain?” Desir asked.

Be nice to the Haitians, they are only trying to make ends meets, while some of you collecting welfare

THEY MIGHT HAVE THEIR FAULT JUST LIKE US ALL BUT REALLY AND TRULLY THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR ALL OF THIS BACK BITEING,HEART LESS BEHAVIOUR ECT, LET US THINK OF DOMINCA FOR ONCE AND SHOULD IN CASE SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAD TO HAPPEN, WOULD YOU LIKE OTHER PEOPLE IN OTHER PLACES TO BE THINKING OR SAYING NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT DOMINICANS, OR WOULD WE JUST WANT THEM TO HELP US? THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO SEAT DOWN AND THINK ABOUT AND NOT GIVING ON THE POOR PEOPLE OF HAITI CAUSE LIKE IT OR NOT THEY ARE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST.
AT THE END OF THE DAY!!! WE ARE HISPANOLA…BROTHERS AND SISTERS..NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS…LETS PUT THE IGNORANCE ASIDE AND TREAT EACH OTHER AS SUCH!!!!
Dear Mr. Otherside
who ever told u Haitian was a role model for any Caribbean country to get independence? i mean they got theirs a full 150 years before the other CARICOM countries even attempted their Independence struggle, and when we did get our independence we weren’t totally left in the dust as to how to move forward.
It funny to talk about blight cuz Haitians are proud to say they helped the USA get Louisiana state and build New Orleans…. i dont know if most of can remember Hurricane Katrina?
On their religion, thought naivety u mentioned that 80% of Haitians are Roman Catholic, something u most have seen on CNN and other American media. Well on Haitian tourism booklets promoting the island states their main religion is voodoo. all their former leaders since the 1950’s (papa and baby doc, even the ex catholic priest Aristide) practiced and embraced the religion as Haiti’s main religion (Aristide said so himself). You mention only the ‘INCOMPETENT ONES’ do voodoo, well my friend vast majority of haitians are illiterate so i guess a vast majority of them are into voodoo.
All i glad u say haitians are so hard working, they are also the most corrupt, greedy, divisive and selfish people in the Caribbean- just take a short look at their history.
… and if ur’re not too busy could u explain to us on the haitian pact with the devil? The pact in 1791 that kicked off their independence struggle- the most bloody in the western world’s history. Kinda interesting that all of the independence leaders died unnatural deaths….hmmmm

SO I WAS READING THE PREVIOUS COMMENTS AND IT SIMPLY SPELLS OUT THAT SOME DOMINICAN’S THESE DAYS NO LONGER USE WHAT THEY CALL A BRAIN AND FORGET WHAT A HEART IS….SUCH A SHAME!!
HAITIANS ARE SOME OF THE MOST HARD WORKING PEOPLE. WHILE MOST OF YOU ALL CRYING YOU ALL DON’T HAVE JOBS AND WHAT NOT, THEY SOMEHOW DO! WHY? BECAUSE THEY SEE THE FUTURE.
AND TO THOSE THAT THINK THAT HAITI HAS A BLIGHT..COME BETTER THAN THAT!
HAITI WAS THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE ONCE UPON A TIME WHICH PAVED THE WAY FOR THE REST OF THE CARIBBEAN TO EVEN THINK OF WANTING INDEPENDENCE. THEY DIDN’T TURN THEMSELVES THAT WAY, THEY ARE IN THIS CURRENT STATE BECAUSE OF THE DEBT TO SPAIN ( Y’ALL NEED TO READ ).
THEY DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TREES AND RIVERS BECAUSE CUTTING THEM DOWN WAS THEIR ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME. GIVE THESE PEOPLE A BREAK.
NOT ALL OF THEM PRACTICE VOODOO BY THE WAY ( IT’S A RELIGION FOR THE INCOMPETENT ONES ) 80% OF THEM ARE CATHOLICS…SO WHAT DOES THAT SAY? MAYBE ALL CATHOLICS ARE EVIL…THAT’S WHAT SOME OF YOU ALL CONJURED IN Y’ALL SMALL MINDS.
GOD HAS A PLAN FOR THESE PEOPLE….HE DON’T LIKE UGLY, WATCH YOURSELF!!
wow, i had such a great night watching bill clinton, jay z, sting, wykliff, denzel, justin…. and so much more wise rich and talented people talk sing and give there all for haiti , then i cried when i saw a little girl was pulled out alive frome under the rocks and debri, then i smilled and tell myself why worry about the ignorant people that make this folks like haddash,sassy,miss fact,dominican in canada and any body else who wish to share those negative comments on haiti i realy wish u all well . and i,ll quote [ forgive them lord for they know not what they,re saying.] and truly fools die for lack of wisdom. and to my fellow dominicans who cannot give money, water or food prayers works wonders if u believe. and take care of the haitians and other nations in dominica as we would like to be treated in peoples country.and my apreciation goes out to charles savrin the prime minister and the good ctizens of dominica for your contribution not just for haitian but for humanity thanks.
I have no idea why we dominicans can be so cold and heartless to other human beings just like ourselves. Let’s forget that they are haitians. Are tehy not human beings? christ died for every human being on this earth including the haitians and if we can be so heartless by writing all those negative comments whom do you think will want to help us if we fall in a similar situation? I do not live in Dominica now but I was home when hurricane david hit us and it was not good for us. we needed help. the haitian people need more help than we needed at that time. Let us concentrate on helping them instead of bad-talking them.. I can no longer look at it because it is too heartbreaking.
To: no name, Anonymous, etc… I am not trying to say they are all the same, that would be ignorant…Of course some of them are nice people…But the facts speak…Like I said before, I really feel sad for the children and what they had & have to go through, before and after the earthquake…
all u talkin all tht shit bout he haitians hope all u dont do the same.right now is not the time…..now is time to put urselves in their shoes an feel wat they r feeling especially the little one , the innocent one tht have no idea watsgoing on an y this is happenin.this counld have been u guys.have a heart.some of all u thinkin like ppl who is heartless.as much as they have bad hands they r nice ppl…i work wit many of them here in the us an i can say they all r not the same.
Anonymous…, it’s not heartless if it’s the truth.
Dominican based on some of those heartless comments I can tell your day is coming.
all i can say is send food,clothes, milk and lots of water don’t bring more haitions in dominica them people there have blight, god is calling on them and yet they are not seeing. u see they got crakers and the stamp on it saying it is not good , it was god food that he send . to me haiti is not poor as they think is the people that are wicked and the population together with all the evil, i have leaved in haiti and with my money i had every thing that we have in DA and the us. if there is 100 haitions 85% wicked they all can do evil but none can cure so that is why the country is like that , so my people try not to bring more evil in DA after what we self have already. please people of DA don’t let the PM and his government import them any more because poor da will be like them.if i had the $$$ maybe i would have taken all the babies they would not have time to learn the wickedness,send food da people,clothes and what ever u see is needed.
For all those who think that GOD is responsible for the terrible disaster in Haiti, should read this very interesting article by Mark Wignall, a Jamaican journalist.
IN THE BEGINNING MAN CREATED GOD
By Mark Wignall
And then man created God in his own image to represent him.
Not too long after man created God to represent all of the whims and fancies of mankind, man created God to be the creator of all of the convenient bits and pieces of what he, as mankind desired God to be.
First of all, said mortal man, God must be our creator so, let us endow God with the power to create us even though, in the first instance, we were the ones who created Him.
Who are we, mere mortals, affected by many twisted illnesses of the body, and the ultimate expression of our existence, that thing known as death, to dare question the charted course that we know nothing of? If we are good and love our neighbour, we die. If we steal from our neighbour who loves us, we die. If we kill our enemies who hate us, we still die. But, in the mix we create versions of God who will redeem us. But, it is only after we end the only existence we know.
The picture is clear but at the edges it is somewhat blurred. This planet called Earth (who gave it that name?) is not yet finished with its building programme. Because of that, there are many natural disasters which are a fact of what Earth and its existence in the unknown entity called the universe must endure.
Over many years there have been these so-called acts of God, like hurricanes, earthquakes, excessive rainfall leading to floods and massive loss of lives, famine due to absolutely no rain, and of course, man’s ability to tell the gullible the reason for all of it.
In 1976 an earthquake in Tangshan, China (8.3 on the Richter scale) caused the death of over 600,000 people. Where was God?
Before that happened, God, fashioned by man, created a hurricane in a poor country, Bangladesh in 1970 and after the country was flooded as a result, the death toll was about 500,000. Was God sleeping?
In 2004 when most of us in Jamaica were enjoying Christmas, said to be the celebration of the birth of the son of God, a terrible tsunami swept over the South Asian coastlines and took the lives of earth’s brothers and sisters. Close to 300,000 died. Where was God?
Close to home, the deprived nation of Haiti has been over many years economically savaged by the might of France and the USA, and it has never gained acceptance in the league of black nations. Black, as in skin colour.
Haiti has been devastated by an earthquake, and maybe close to 250,000 may be dead. Where was God? This God that we so revere.
Have we not seen this before? Devastation. Hundreds of thousands of lives lost. Then, after many days, one little child is pulled from the rubble and people say, “Oh my God, it’s a miracle. It’s God’s work.”
Well, if God could save one person, why did He arrange the killing and the suffering of over 200,000 people in Haiti?
Why has God allowed gunmen to run wild in Jamaica and kill innocent people? The answer is simple but it is, at the same time, unpalatable for many.
God does not exist.
Of course, the religious, especially those fervently into their convenient re-creations of God have said, like the preacher man Pat Robertson, that God is vexed with Haiti. In that lies the ultimate creation of God by mankind.
The ability to tell us where the mind of this God is and what He will be doing next week.
We exist on this earth and no man, no woman knows why we are here. We do what we need to be because we are here.
Think of it for a while. What is man’s main objective? To put food in his mouth. It is not to worship an unknown entity. But, if a man is hungry, there is a need in him to blame something for it. So, he creates the alter ego of God. Satan!
I am hungry and Satan is the cause. He gets a bellyful and he says to himself, “God has given me this to eat.”
Devastation in the form of earthquakes and hurricanes attract the ignorant and the gullible. And I entirely understand them. They need a reason to explain what lies beyond their understanding.
In Haiti, if it was God who caused a child to be rescued after suffering, terrible suffering buried under a dark pile of near-death, the same religious people will tell you that it was God that caused the earthquake in the first place.
Why?
Because, it was man who created God. Therefore it is man who created God’s job description and who decides which side God falls on. Like a good politician, man ensures that God is right on all sides. So, it was evil in poor Haiti that brought about God’s wrath.
God loves you if you are good. And even if he puts you under the pressure of Job to prove your love for Him, people like me have no right to question why such a powerful God would have need for so much evil “fun”, watching from His heaven.
If you are evil, all you have to do is say that you believe in Him. It has absolutely nothing to do with how you live. If you beat your wife on Mondays, starve the children on days in between Tuesday and Friday, kick the dog on Saturday and go to church on Sundays, it is OK in the eyes of God.
So, it was God who caused the Haitian earthquake. But it will be man who will help them recover, no matter the political intentions. Man will, after all, have his version of God constantly renewed. Why? It was man who created God in the first place.
DUDE IM PISS** OFF AT YOU HATIANS NOW. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE MEDIA IS IGNORANT TO THE REAL ..HATS HAPPENING IN HAITI. TRUST ME WE KNOW WAT YOU GUYS ARE FEELING AND WE SEE IT ON THE NEWS PAPER EVERYDAY WE SEE THE FIGHTS, WE SEE THE STRUGGLE AND THESE PEOPLE HELPING YOU GUYS ARE SOOO HUMBLE! AND UNDERSTANDING. YOUR OWN PEOPLE ARE GUNNING DOWN EVEN YOUNG FEMALES!!! (HUNGRY) FEMALES BECAUSE THEY ARE LOOTING! wtf..YOU HATIANS ARE IGNORANT! I JUST FEEL SORRY FOR THE YOUNG KIDS AND WOMEN WHO GET NO MERCY FROM THE STRONGER MORE DOMINATING MEN UP THERE. SO SAD..AND U TALKIN ABOUT TREMORS AND …AND U STILL DONT GET WHY THESE PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING OUTSIDE???? THEY HAVE TO SLEEP OUTSIDE CUSE ITS A RISK TO GO BACK INTO THEIR CONCRETE HOMES! THESE HOUSES ARE UNSTABLE! WAW NOW I SEE HOW IGNORANT AND STUPID YOU PEOPLE ARE. IM JUST SO DISGUSTED AFTER I SAW ON THE PAPERS TODAY THAT A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL GOT GUNNED DOWN FOR LOOTING! IL PRAY FOR YOU STUPID IGNORANT MEN IN HAITI AND HAVE MERCY ON THEM POOR KIDS …
what has happened to the rest of Haiti? Does Haiti consist of Porto Prince alone? Did i read that the president’s father in law is seeing the same thing that we see? These people has left the country sides and migrated to this town, the capital, got it from a Haitian source. there are no more farmers, nor do they try to help themselves. Everyone wants to be in the city. don’t get me wrong! i feel for the people, the mare fact that some got money, means that all is not lost
God sent the hatians a message because of the vudo they be doing so there for i’ll make em learn from there mistakes…
Dominica has a ‘haitian Dominican Association’… Dominica is going to regret bringing in these people…The have a terrible reputation everywhere they go, and for good reason…I am not saying they deserve the earthquake (for the sake of the children) but you know the old but true saying; “karma is a bitch.”
I’ll remain on my knees for my brothers and sisters in haiti .
I have been reading a number of these comments, and it is clear that ignorance of history govern most of these comments. I have always had a problem with the fact that history is no longer a compulsory subject in many of our schools. It would behoove a large percentage of our population to read up on the history that governs Haiti. Haitians as a people should be respected for having a backbone and standing up to their colonizers despite what it cost them. It would do you Dominican much good to read; “The hate and the Quake’ an article by Sir. Hiliary Beckeles of the University of the West Indies. Maybe, just maybe, you would refrain from making such IGNORANT comments. The article can be found at this link.
http://www.normangirvan.info/beckles-hate-quake/
A great number of Dominicans with French surnames are descendants of Martiniquans and Haitians. Could it be that the very people you insult before the entire world are your relatives?
let me tell u something mr leroy richards dere is something call free expression so i say wat the hell i feel like n stop acting like a child n keep my mother out of ur f*** . i have the liberty to say wat i feel like so u like it read it dont, go read a next !!!! and i know wat the hell i saying n u dont have to be proud of callin ur self a domnican ,who cares!!
AND TO D,N,O wild and reckless comments like those of SASSYand MISS FACT should not be known to the world they might think we,re just a bunch of iliterate people on the island. like the gay comment of..should never come out of dominica; u have your laws ,they are to be enforced and carried out by law enforcement, but topromote tourism on one side of your mouth and on the other side stereotyping, or targetting any group is eresponsible, reckless, arrogant and lack of judgement,learn to keep your prejudice in your bed room, not on the world stage. u have failed to represent your constituency the last time around let that be your main focust these people dont want to sleep with u or stay on your island, they just in for a couple of hours see the island like every body else and hopefully spend a few box so dont make your self a target messing with this powerfull people and lets try to be self reliance instead of being the welfare state that we have become under your administration. grow up … and this term try to have atleast one person from.. say something good about u. oh dont start thinkig am from marigot, am from portsmouth.
miss fact reading your comment says a lot about your dirty caracter u should be a shame of not only your self but the selfish mother that gave birth to u. shame shame shame. go get a life.
huricane david 1979, as some of us dominicans remember was a trying time for us,and with the help of the usa,canada,the uk and some other countries we got through the storm. haiti, our family,our neighbor has suffered a massive blow to their homes, land, infrastructure, livelihood, hopes, dreams, and more importantly lives; am talking about twice the population of dominica. well to sum it up lets just say that i leroy richards will be a shame to call my self a proud dominican together with dominicans that wish to share any negative comments about haiti or haitians. loosing 100,000 or more black people weakens us as a people or a race, now is the time unite in solidarity with our haitian brothers and sisters; and give onto haiti as venezuela and china has given onto us.
@ hmmm
if it was Da that had earthquake, when rain fall at night at least we would have trees and bush to sleep under… and i agree if their throat dry then rain water is a blessing nothing to cry about.
But in Dca we cant go thirst cuz we got nuff river water… who fault Haiti cut all their trees and dry up thier rivers?
Haitian to bold for my liking- if ur a beggar then u take what u get and make the most of it… i mean what do they expect/ want?!?!
All of them have tv, don’t they know about Sudan? One Million plus dead and millions more people displaced in the desert! How about Zimbabwe?
These are man made disasters which are way more severe- Haitian is like a Sodom with the voodoo religion, and dont get me wrong i feel sorry for Haitian kids with a future but not for ignorant adults who care only about themselves and feel the world owes them- anyone seen this vulgar attitude during the Asian Tsunami or in Sudan… or even in Iraqi?!
This is very harsh and wicked thing some of you all are writing …..
and jesus really dont like that and if we dont ask jesus to cover d/ca and d/can woe onto
this nation thank you…..god put a hand over d/canz amen…..
HAITIANS ARE COLD PP , VERY IGNORANT, THEY NEED TO USE THEIR RESORCES TOFEND FOR THEIR FAMILY AND STOP BEING LAZY , HAITI IS SUCH A LRGE ISLAND , CAN’T THEY RELOCATE? I FEEL FORTHE WOMAN , CILDREN AND TE ELDERS, BUT THE MEN SUCH AS THE ONES THE MASHED UP THE BISCUIT, THEY WOULD AT MUD CAKES FTER THAT ,
SOT
ms fact iagree wth you ahundred percent. those hatians are very rude, they haVe no heart and feelings
theY think the world owe them something, and a matter f fact they alL want to go TO AMERICA.
TO DISPLAY THEIR NASTY AND HEARTLESS WAYS
@ miss facts and @ confused ….are u people crazyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!….stupesssssssssssssss!!
Mr. Roland Desir, i would be very, very grateful if you sir, would explain to the people of the commonwealth of Dominica, which HAITIAN Domonican, association that you are the president off? Where is your office, who is the vice president, and the rest of your executive, and committe members? When and where was the association formed or founded?
Sir, we hear Haitians all over complaining and when ask to go to the ” HAITIAN ASSOCIATION” FOR HELP and information, the response is, “:What Association, and where it is? Even in Roseau, Haitians in Roseau CANNOT give any information about any such association. Sir as a Haitian your self, do please give this information so that we can HELP YOUR PEOPLE with it. waiting for a response.
Dear DNO, you have given information to the public stating that Mr Roland Desir is the president of the Haitian Dominican association, it would be good if you could let the Dominican public know, where is the Associations office, and who is the members, especially the DOMINICANS that is part of that association. thanks for you help and support, do continue with the great job. GOD BLESS DOMINICA.
Hey Sissereau, get over there and give those people some water.
There is also an outside chance that these earthquakes aren’t by chance.
Since the 1950’s, certain military factions have had the capacity and know how to drill into the ocean and plant detonations which result in affecting the tectonic plate and can cause an earthquake. What we don’t know is whether this was the case this time with Haiti.
The fact that the UN has a headquarters there is suspicous.
Never send cash donations over there. There are opportunists…..that take half the money.
Miss facts, you do not even deserve an answer. Tout sa ou ka pale la se sot. Mechanste!!! It’s a stereotypical statement that you are making you do not the facts and imagine yourself in the situation. You want to call the Haitians name but It has been said that a stereotypical statement tells MORE about the person who says it than about the people who are being stereotyped. Again, if you have nothing good to say, stay quiet.
Get the facts!!!
1st of all, I disagree with the excuse of fustration, cause it’s just a case of stupid and ignorant people who are not easing up the situation on themselves but are just making it worst.
2ndly i find that the same way dominican can struggle and survive with basics , the hatians can do the same! plus with the financial (billions of $), military and physical help of the of the europeans, the chinese, americans and the rest of the world they can make it in solidarity. Is not to say that domica cannot help haiti, because there are rivers and provision, but dominica itself needs help.
In addition, when people don’t have and they need, whatever they get, they take! Because they are asking for help and they want to be stepping and crushing food on worldwide news! Cé moun ca comparéson…
3rdly,If the haitians want to leave their country , who is going to rebuild it! And put the country back it’s foot!
@ I’m confused!
This is very harsh and wicked thing you wrote. If you have nothing good to say, DO NOT COMMENT. This is a time where the Haitian people are trying to survive. Imagine yourself or your loved ones sleeping on the streets – On the hard concrete for days and barely eating or drinking and the worst thing to happen is rain at night. Some ppl can be very cold hearted. Rain is a good thing but NOT in the context you put it. My dear I hope you no that those ppl are strong and NO MATTER what happens GOD is on their side. About the money – it means that: they have it but you cant find food to purchase because everywhere is damaged.
Thank God for what you have and that the Lord has spare D/ca for such disaster because it could have been any country. Once again if u have nothing good to say about the situation, do not say anything.
I came across a very good article by Sir Hilary Beckles, Pro Vice Chancellor and Principal of UWI. It;s called The Hate and The Quake. It is not very long. You can find it at http://www.barbadosadvocate.com. Probably this can explain the attitude of the haitian people
yeah i can imagine it got some sweff dudes goin around using the opportunity to get some sex
President of The Haitian Dominican Association Roland Desir, having reread your article 12 times. I failed to read any new things that you may know of personally that we may not know. Again tell me the real Deal that the media aint telling us. Secondly tell dem ” Collect the rain water to keep the thirsts quench. Such is survival skills that we learnt. I heard you say that they have money???? Now thats new to me…..
Oh my!This is really serious.These people need loads of help.Hmmmm.Another thing is that the Haitian s are getting frustrated due to the lack of food.There fore there are engagin in violent acts against each other….It’s because they are frustrated….
CARICOM should use more Dominican and St.Lucian personnel in Haiti because of our common Creole background. There wouldn’t be a language barrier and they would have more trust in us.
I understood that ppl are being raped in all that too!
