Political Scientist Alex Bruno is of the view that the newly formed Alternative Peoples Party (APP) should not join the political arena with its eyes set solely on removing the present Government.

Minister for National Security Rayburn Blackmoore says Dominica has embraced Haitian Nationals to the island seeking a better way of life. However, he says it is a reasonable expectation for all Haitian Nationals to respect the laws of the country.
