President seeks to improve relations with Haiti

When President Fernandez handed him ago days to Haiti glittering buildings of the University Henri Christophe (UHC), I was leaving for the story the last effort of its policy with the neighboring country, call to conjure up bitterness and old suspicions.

Fernández, scholar of international politics and knowledgeable about how work States, he made the effort to deliver the UHC to the devastated country not only to fulfil the word given after the earthquake of 2010, but to strengthen the relations between the future.

Governments will continue when the current conclusion on August 16 this year, you will find a country with better relations with its neighbour, will have less difficulty in understanding, greater understanding of the two peoples and better business.

Perhaps Dominicans, who began the day after the earthquake and efforts that have been recognized by the international community, amenguarán the campaign u000alook abroad to the RD as a nation which is exploited to the Haitians.

The Dominican ruler had their own reasons of recrimination on 12 December 2005, while on an official visit to Port au Prince at the invitation of the then President, Boniface Alexandre, a mob attacked her Caravan and threatened his life.

Originally President Fernandez would have subtracted significance to the event, but later during a ceremony with international organizations, he recalled as "very serious" that aggression then attributed to students and marauders.

Against this background, an inexplicable roost of security and of the Dominican Embassy in that time, the Minister of the armed forces, lieutenant general Pérez Féliz, did not want to risk and set up his command post in Dajabón, while the President gave the UHC in Limonade and then in Jimaní when attending the reopening of the u000aMission.

Legacy of Leonel
some complaints expressed by Dominican thinkers with respect to the dedication of the UHC to the memory of King Christopher, they recalled the past of ignominy of his despotic regime and the slaughter of Moca, memorable in the annals of history.

If in Japan, Japanese had maintained his hatred as a premise in relations with United States.UU., have not achieved the level of economic and technological development that enjoys now to overcome the trauma caused by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which caused close to 60,000 deaths in 1945, only in the last

Viet Nam was destroyed by bombing and invasion by land of the United States and as a result its infrastructure, land and rail tracks was totally damaged. Now Viet Nam benefits of American aid, its technology and the good relationships.

RD does justice
the construction of the University work at Cape u000aHaitian (Limonade), site decided on another country's regime, did some justice with the distinction that have had the Haitians in the North, capital of the country during the rule of King Christophe.

As reverence toward the city where the King built palaces, schools and hospitals in the estates inhabited by former slaves, including the La Ferriére fortress that defended the country from Napoleon, Haitians of the base used to call it "the country of Cape".

The former strong man of the Era of Trujillo, Anselmo Paulino, treasured among his memoirs the decree which appointed him consul-general in Cap-Haïtien, at the beginning of the regime of 31 years, a sign of the importance attached to that place. Pauline married to Renée García, a distinguished Lady and always until her death she would be called Madame Pauline.

El Professor Juan Bosch, historic leader of the LDP lived as a child with his family in Cap-Haïtien, u000awhere were born siblings Angela and Francisco, the only city in the neighboring country visited by an American President, what did Franklin D. Roosevelt, in 1934, for ending the intervention (1915-1934).

As solid and notable political intellectual, Bosch remembered with nostalgia those days of childhood in Cap-Haïtien with her paternal grandfather, particularly the loss of a blue sombrerito while strolling with the family on a boat from the city. The University awarded the name of Juan Bosch to your library.

Then of languish for years, forgotten by the dictatorship of the Duvalier (Francois and Jean Claude), the city of Cap-Haïtien is looking for restoring its glory; schools have been opened, the airport is ready and port awaiting arrangements to receive cruise ships that currently anchor in his rada. Francois never forgave his predecessor, President Paul e. Magloire, a bourgeois society capoise.

For this week u000ascheduled the presentation free of Led Leavy Quartet jazz group and Orchestra of worldwide reputation the North, original of Cap-Haïtien, under the auspices of the United States Embassy, sign of the renewed cultural boom.

With the construction of the UHC Dominican Republic removed the food in the mouth as did Cuba, ordered of up to 1,500 doctors and auxiliary staff to serve the thousands of victims of the earthquake and the cholera epidemic affecting that country. Cubans are there in charge of this task, the Deputy Minister of health, Dr. Somarribas.

El doctor Fernández did not take into account France, accused by abuse and loot the wealth of Haiti after its independence in 1804 and United States, which invaded and has placed and removed rulers, they did not meet with his word of impel the reconstruction.

On the criticism of the attitude of the United States, should be taken into account that the former u000aPresident Bill Clinton liderea by the friends of Haiti reconstruction Committee. Theirs is a personal gesture derived partly from memories to Port au Prince where he spent honeymoon after marrying Hillary Clinton, in 1975.
