Description:

  • Jean Dominique entèvyouve Guercy Antoine, ki se yon etidyan pastoral ayisyen k ap etidye kijan ayisyen ap viv lòt bò fontyè a nan Repiblik Dominiken. Li di kondisyon an grav anpil paske pa gen òganizasyon dwa moun ayisyen k ap akeyi moun sa yo, ni pa gen kontwòl kijan Repibilk Dominiken ap voye ayisyen tounen. Li di se yon sityasyon ki rasis anpil, paske yo maltrete menm dominiken ki gen po nwè yo menm jan yo maltrete ayisyen. Antoine pale sou kondisyon rapatriman ayisyen k ap viv nan Dominikani yo. Anvan leta dominiken an rapatriye ayisyen yo, yo arete moun yo epi yo separe yo de fanmi yo, e yo pa fè diferans ant ayisyen ki gen papye lòt bò a ak ayisyen ki fèk rive yo. Anpil nan ayisyen ki lòt bò a la sou kontra ak gouvènman dominiken yo, donk yo pa ilegal menm si yo pa gen paspò. Leta dominiken a ap depòte yo paske yo pè pou ayisyen sa yo pa mande pansyon. Ayisyen sa yo ka defann tèt yo paske yo gen dèzane nan Dominikani, epi yo pale panyòl byen. Yo pale sou politik ak rasin kiltirèl antiayisyanis nan Dominikani. Antoine pale sou relijyon ak mesaj Jezikri a pou bay moun k ap soufri lavi.

  • Jean Dominique interviews Guercy Antoine, a pastoral student studying the living conditions of Haitians in the Dominican Republic. He states that the situation of Haitians living in the Dominican Republic is grave, because there are no human rights organizations to receive them, nor are there limits on how the Dominican Republic can repatriate Haitians. He states the situation is extremely racist, because even dark-skinned Dominicans are mistreated as Haitians are mistreated. Antoine discusses the deportations of Haitians living in the Dominican Republic. Before Haitians are deported, the Dominican government arrests the Haitians and separates them from their families. The Dominican government does not distinguish between Haitians there legally and those who are not. Many Haitians living in the Dominican Republic are there under a contract with the Dominican government, meaning they are not there illegally, even if they do not have documents such as passports. The Dominican government deports them too out of fear that these Haitians will claim pensions from the Dominican government. These Haitians are fluent in Spanish since they have lived in the Dominican Republic for decades, so they would be able to fight for their rights if they were allowed to stay. Guercy discusses the politics and cultural roots of antihaitianismo in the Dominican Republic. Antoine discusses religion and the message of Jesus Christ to bring life to those suffering.

  • Jean Dominique rencontre Guercy Antoine, un étudiant en pastorale, qui se penche sur les conditions de vie des Haïtiens en République Dominicaine. Il dit que la situation est grave parce qu’il n’y a pas d’organisation haïtienne de droit humains pour les accueillir, il n’y a pas non plus de contrôle sur la manière dont la République Dominicaine effectue les rapatriements. Il signale le racisme extrême qui fait que des Dominicains à la peau foncée sont maltraités tout comme les Haïtiens. Antoine parle des conditions de rapatriement des Haïtiens : avant que l’état les refoule, ils sont arrêtés, séparés de leur famille, et il n’y a aucune différence entre les Haïtiens qui ont leur documents légaux, et ceux qui n’en n’ont pas ou qui viennent d’arriver. De nombreux Haïtiens qui vivent en République Dominicaine ont des contrats avec le gouvernement dominicain, donc ils ne sont pas des illégaux, même s’ils n’ont pas de passeports. L’état dominicain les déporte car il craint que ces Haïtiens demandent leur pension. Ces Haïtiens peuvent se défendre car ils vivent depuis des années en République Dominicaine et ils parlent bien l’espagnol. Discussion sur la politique et les racines culturelles de l’antihaïtianisme en République Dominicaine. Antoine parle de sa religion et du message de Jésus-Christ pour ceux qui souffrent.
