Haiti Minister Daniel Supplice Robbed By Dominican Police

Have you heard? Haitian Minister of Haitians Living Abroad Daniel Supplice was robbed at gunpoint by Dominican police Thursday 22 Dec 2011, Le Matin says. They took everything, even his cell phone...

Isn't this funny?

Daniel Supplice is the Ministre des Haitiens Vivant a l'Etranger, epi gade sa ki pase Misye... "A l"Etranger wi s'il vous plait... LOL..."

Jesus!!!

Mr. Supplice should really ask himself:

"Self... What can I learn from this??? Is God sending me a message about the treatment of my fellow Haitians living 'a l'Etranger' whom I represent???"

Hmmmmmmm... It's interesting how situations force us to take our jobs seriously...

Haiti Newspaper "Le Matin" Reports...

Daniel Supplice, Daniel Supplice got robbed by four armed gunmen who were members of the Dominican Police force in the streets of Santiago (the second city of the Dominican Republic.)

While riding his vehicle with his wife and his family, Daniel Supplice got robbed... These crooks took everything, the newspaper says, phones and valuables....

Daniel Supplice was in the Dominican Republic to attend a family wedding.

While listening to the news this morning on Haiti radio Signal FM, they mentioned the word "Kidnapping." Also, according to the news report, President Martelly downplayed the incident claiming that it was people trying to disrupt the good relationship between Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

I know that Dominican police have the habit of asking for money "straight up" when you travel by car from Haiti to the Dominican Republic but to harass a Haitian government official and steel even his cell phone, that's a little hard to swallow.

Imagine an officer of The Royal Canadian Mounted Police robbing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at gun point... Not a simple case it it?

If they can do that to a Haitian government official, what will they do to a regular Haitian citizen like you and me???

Come to think of it, how many cases like this have gone unnoticed?

Will the Government of the Dominican Republic do anything about it? Do they even care?

La investigación continúa... LOL...

Good job.

My sister while on vacation to DR. has her Iphone 4s stolen.

when she said to someone that she will try to trace it the guys who live in NY and got deported to Dr. advise her not to do so because the person who got it will try to kill her. when we send money for her she has to hide after she got the money this is how the country is bad. when she try to go out to buy people from the place she was living advise her not to do so. the explain her the safe place to go is in the mountain because those places are living by missonnary.

So many incidents happened on the line that you are talking about.
