My uncle is planning to adopt a kid from there. He has to wait almost a year to get the kid. Hope he's all right.

plus except for the UN the country has no authority, it's like a little piece of africa in the carribean.
I suspect lots & lots of casualties due to the bad healthcare, shitty built houses & lack of infrastructure.

Haiti and the Dominican Republic are a good example of how two societies can use what is essentially the same piece of land, and one can succeed and the other can relatively fail.
