to me.

It was a colony formed by slaves from the USA and until recent years was one of the few places where old English was spoken, and the only place on the island where English was the main language.

Part of Semana Peninsula is leased by the USA for a Naval Base and has been for over a hundred years.

Really sorry to hear that this type of thing is happening there but knew that no good would come from the D.R.s close alliance with the U.S. over the last decade or so. There has been a history with the two countries for over four hundred years but just lately has the D.R. become such a tool for the U.S. in the Caribbean. JMHO
