IDominica ibizwa njalo ngokuthi "Isiqhingi Semvelo seCaribbean" ngenxa yokuthola kwayo, izimila ezikhulayo ezivikeleke ngohlaka olubanzi lwesici sepaki. Kuyisiqhingi esinentsha kunazo zonke kuma-Lesser Antilles. Isiqhingi saseCaribbean silinganiselwe inhlokodolobha, iRoseau ngasentshonalanga. Lesi siqhingi siseduze neGuadeloupe ngasenyakatho-ntshonalanga neMartinique ngaseningizimu-ntshonalanga. Ngaphambi kokuhlaselwa kwabantu baseYurophu, ama-Arawak ayengabahambi abaphambili esiQhingini. Baqhamuka eNingizimu Melika ngekhulu lesihlanu.
UChristopher Columbus uthole lesi siqhingi ngeSonto mhlaka 3 Novemba 1493 wasiqamba kabusha ngemuva kosuku lwesonto. INgilandi, iFrance kanye nomphakathi waseKalinago baxabana ngalesi siqhingi isikhathi eside. Yanikelwa ngokusemthethweni eBrithani ngo-1763.
Ngenxa yezimpi eziningi nokuhlaselwa ukugula, umphakathi waseKalinago wehluleka ukulawula lesi siqhingi wabalekela eNingizimu Melika. Kunoma ikuphi, namuhla cishe ama-2,000 500 eKalinago ahlala esiqhingini, imvamisa ehlala eKalinago Territory empumalanga esempumalanga yeDominica. Kancane kancane, amagama amadolobha amaningi eDominica namaphethelo ayinhlanganisela yamaKalinago, amaFulentshi nawesiNgisi — okufanekisa izimpi zamandla eminyakeni engu-XNUMX yakamuva.
NgoNovemba 3, 1978, iDominica yathola inkululeko yayo eGreat Britain futhi yaphenduka yaba umuntu ovela kuCommonwealth. Njengoba senziwe ikoloni ngabaseBrithani, lesi siqhingi samukela isiNgisi njengolimi olusemthethweni kepha abantu bendawo kanye nezakhamizi ezimbalwa baxhumana ngempela ngama-patois aseFrance. Ukupheka kweDominica kufana nezinye iziqhingi zaseCaribbean, ikakhulukazi iJamaica, iSanta Lucia, neTrinidad neTobago. Abathandi beVeggie bebengeke babe nezinkinga eziningi zokuthola ukudla okuhle eDominica njengoba kunemikhiqizo eminingi yenhlabathi esiqhingini.
Ukudla kusungulwa ngezinqubo ze-creole ngemikhiqizo eseduze enongwe ukunambitheka okutholakala esiqhingini. IDominica inesidlo sayo sakusihlwa esivamile sokwelapha izivakashi. Izindleko ezijwayelekile zeDominica zezinto eziyisisekelo ziphansi ngokwesilinganiso uma ziqhathaniswa nezizwe ezahlukahlukene ezinenhlalo yezomnotho efana nayo. Ukulindela ukunethezeka kwansuku zonke kwamukelwa kakhulu, futhi umnotho uzinzile futhi uyathuthuka. Uma kuqhathaniswa nezizwe ezahlukahlukene ezinjenge-Antigua, iBahamas, iBarbados, umkhiqizo, indawo yokuhlala nezokungcebeleka zenani eliphansi ngokuyisisekelo. Ukuphathwa okubalulekile, amandla, amanzi, inhlalakahle, ukufundiswa, kanye nokuphathwa kwezincwadi kuvulekile kubo bonke abantu. Izindleko ezijwayelekile zeDominica zezinto eziyisisekelo ziphansi ngokwesilinganiso uma ziqhathaniswa nezizwe ezahlukahlukene ezinenhlalo yezomnotho efana nayo. Izindleko ezijwayelekile zezinto eziyisisekelo zincike kakhulu endleleni yokuphila yabantu nezindawo zabo. Kucatshangwa ukuthi ungaphila kalula uma umuntu ethatha izifunda ezifanele ukuxhasa izidingo kanye nezidingo zabo. Ukulindela ukunethezeka kwansuku zonke kwamukelwa kakhulu, futhi umnotho uzinzile futhi uyathuthuka. Uma kuqhathaniswa nezizwe ezahlukahlukene ezinjenge-Antigua, iBahamas, iBarbados, izinto, indawo yokuhlala nezokungcebeleka zenani eliphansi ngokuyisisekelo.
Ukuphathwa okubalulekile, amandla, amanzi, inhlalakahle, ukuqeqeshwa, kanye nokuphathwa kwezincwadi kuyatholakala kubantu bonke. Izindleko zokufundisa ziyavuma uma kubhekwa ukuthi izwe ligcina izinga lokufunda elingama-94%, kanti izikole ezixhaswa nguhulumeni zixhaswe nguhulumeni. Izindleko zokubhalwa kwezincwadi zinengqondo ngaphakathi kwesimo sezulu esibi ngokwedlulele, ukuphathwa kwenhlalakahle yenethiwekhi kumahhala, ukuphathwa kwenhlalakahle yangasese kuqondiswa futhi kubiza kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nozakwethu wase-US, nokho, kuvinjelwe ekuphathweni okuthile. Ngaphandle kokuthi indawo yenhlalakahle ihlangabezana nokushoda kochwepheshe bezenhlalakahle, inkambiso yenhlalakahle ayithonywa, futhi empeleni iyesabeka ngaphezu kweziqhingi. Amahhovisi akhona njengamanje futhi asezingeni eliphezulu, futhi ukuze kubhekwe okuyisisekelo kanye nokuphathwa okuthile okungafinyeleleki esiqhingini, kunamalungiselelo abekelwe iziguli ukuze zithole ukunakekelwa kwezempilo okubalulekile emahhovisi asesiqhingini angomakhelwane. Izinga lesikhathi esizayo eDominica liyiminyaka engama-74, futhi abantu abaningi ngokwabo bayakwazisa ukwaneliseka komuntu siqu okuhle. IDominica iyikhaya labantu abangaphezu kwekhulu lama-22. Ngo-2006, iDominica yabekwa ezweni lesine elijabula kakhulu emhlabeni yi-Happy People Index eholwa yinhlangano yocwaningo yaseBrithani iNew Economic Foundation.
Izinto zokuhamba eziseduze zenziwe ngasese, futhi izindleko azibalulekile uma ziqhathaniswa nezizwe ezahlukahlukene. Ukuphathwa kwesiqhingi kwamukelekile futhi nxazonke zigcinwa. Izindleko zokuthola enye imoto ziphakeme ngokwedlulele, njengoba iningi linezezimali zasebhange, kodwa-ke, inani lezimoto ezikhethekile licishe lenyuka kakhulu kule minyaka eyi-10 yakamuva, ngaphezulu kwesidingo kunesidingo.
Izindleko zezinsiza nemikhiqizo namabhizinisi ziyakhuphuka maqondana nezindleko zamandla we-bio-amandla. Ukwanda okungazelelwe kwemikhiqizo kuyisizathu sokuthi abantu bathole izinguquko zempilo, bahlele ukusetshenziswa kwemali yabo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi bagcina indlela yokuphila enengqondo futhi eyamukelekayo. Isizwe sincike kakhulu ekungenisweni kwaso ngaphakathi ezweni, kodwa-ke ngezindleko ezandayo zezinto ezivela ngaphandle kwesifunda, isizwe sizama ngenzuzo ukudala okusebenzayo kanye nentuthuko. Ngaphandle kwezindleko ezandayo zokuthengiswa kwempahla eyeqile kanye nokuphathwa, izinto zivulekile futhi zifinyeleleka kubantu abazicelayo.
Isikhundla esihle seDominica kwizizwe eziningi jikelele yinani laso lempahla ye-hydro ne-geothermal. Okwamanje ukwakhiwa kwamandla kagesi angabizi kakhulu, kusetshenziswa i-geothermal ne-hydropower, kuyaqhubeka, futhi lokhu kufanele futhi kuphambane nezindleko ezikhulayo zomhlaba wonke zalezo zinto. Njengamanje, kunekhono lokwakha kufika ku-40% wokusetshenziswa kwamandla kagesi okuphelele kwesizwe ngokusebenzisa i-hydropower, okunethuba elikhulu lokukhuphuka. Futhi, noma ngabe amandla aqondiswe elangeni awasetshenziswanga kakhulu ekwakhiweni kwamandla, asetshenziswa kabanzi (ngasese nangokwezimali) ukufudumeza amanzi, okunciphisa izindleko ngqo ku-shopper. Kufakwa umfutho wenkululeko ukuxhasa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla elanga okuletha amandla, ngaphansi kwaleli lungiselelo; amandla amaningi enziwe lapho-ke azokwazi ukuthengiswa abuyele ohlakeni oluseduze lwenzuzo eqhutshwa yimali. Ukuphathwa kwe-Satellite TV kanye nezincwadi (iwebhu, iseli, ulayini ohleliwe) ziyatholakala esiqhingini ububanzi.
