27 Trailers & Dominican Trucks Loaded With Goods, Blocked In Ouanaminthe
On Thursday, March 5th, Blas Peralta, the President of the National Federation of Dominican Transportation (Fenatrado), has confirmed that 27 trailers and Dominican trucks, loaded with cement, rebars and food, were seized at Ouanaminthe after registering with the Haitian customs authority. In spite of requests from the Dominican authority, and by Jhovanny Escoto, the representative of the Fenatrado (Dominican Republic's biggest truckers union with a force of around 7,000 trucks) the Haitian customs has decided to retain the trucks as they had already been registered with their customs, but asked the Dominican drivers to return to their territory until the situation returns to normalcy. A total of 24 trucks was blocked in the customs area of Ouanaminthe and 3, at the exit of Cap-Haitien because of planned protests and threats of retaliation against the Dominican drivers.
Second Haitian Embassy Burglarized in Three Months for Safes
Haitian Ambassador to the Dominican Republic Fritz Cineas' residence was burglarized on February 5, 2014. An EDESUR utility van pulled up to the embassy with five uniformed men inside, evidently EDESUR employees, or so the embassy security guard thought. The men told the guard they were there to make a repair to the electrical system. Taking the men at their word, the guard let the van through a heavy metal gate and was attacked with a blunt force object. Once inside the building the men found a Haitian domestic, whom they tied up and gagged, then going to the second floor where they stole two safes.
14,765 Haitians kicked out of Dominican Republic in 2013
Haiti's past with the Dominican Republic has been a long, arduous and often bloody one. The two countries share the island of Hispaniola, but little much else is common between them. Their ethnicities are different, with Haitians being more directly of African descent and those from the Dominican Republic more of a mixed race (73%). The difference is also apparent in their languages, Haitians speaking Creole and French and the Dominican Republic residents speaking Spanish and Creole.
Many speculate that the greatest disparity, that of prosperity, was the reason behind the controversial 2013 court ruling that has now seen nearly 15,000 Haitians deported from the Dominican Republic. Though roughly 20 million inhabit the island, half of the number occupy Haiti, which takes up only 1/3rd of the island. The other 2/3rd is inhabited by those of the neighbor country numbering roughly the same amount in population. Also, The Dominican Republic has a GDP that is eight times the size of Haiti's per year: $106 billion to Haiti's $13.5 billion.
Martelly Refuses to Boycott Dominican Republic, Says Buy Local
The government of Haiti (GOH) is maintaining a stance to avoid applying sanctions against the Dominican Republic (DR) for its High Court ruling to displace up to 250,000 Haitians of illegal immigrants. The DR is willfully withholding identity documents for Haitians born in the DR, retroactive to 1929.
The GOH delayed its response to the ruling, but has finally come forward to say it wishes to maintain close ties with the DR. However, CARICOM has suspended the DR's membership in the regional Caribbean body. CARICOM will consider reabsorbing the DR if a bi-lateral commission can resolve the issue of the deportation of Haitians. In response, the DR has refused to continue discussions with Haiti since their suspensation from CARICOM.
Democracy does not work in failed States like Haiti, Hugo Guilliani Cury
I have it up to my mouth with the Dominican Republic. Here is the latest. According to the economist and Dominican ambassador Hugo Guilliani Cury, "Haiti is a failed State and as such creates serious problems for the Dominican Republic"' that "Democracy does not work in failed States like Haiti"
Do you want to hear where it becomes more interesting?
He proposed that the donor States create a "partnership for development" and I assume that he sees the Dominican republic as on of such partners.
Mwen ginyin ra dyol ak Dominikin sa yo ki panse ke peyiyo tres byen et ke tout problem yo se paske you patage ti zile sa avek Ayiti.
Haitians and Dominicans, where is the love? VIDEO
Has the conflict between Haiti and the Dominican Republic reached a point where things can never get back to normal? Here are two of the most expressive acts so far, some Haitians were burning Dominican Flags in response to Haitian Flag burning in the Dominican Republic
Although the two governments have decided on talking for the sake of talking, the problem between the Haitians and the Dominicans is not getting any better. Now it has come down to the ultimate flag burning to show frustration.
Sadly enough, so far there has not been any real leaders arising from this crisis either on the Dominican or the Haitian side.
The Militarization of Haiti-Dominican Republic Border
Haiti is separated with Dominican Republic by long uneven crooked teeth like barricade on the Massacre River. The armed Dominican border guards sit and stare blankly at the opposite bank from their assigned posts. On the other side of the river, the Haitian women wash clothes on rocks and innocent children splash in the water. CESFRONT is the name of Specialized Dominican Republic's Border Security Force. It was established in 2006 with a purpose to restrict the entry of illegal migrants crossing Haitian-Dominican border.
CESFRONT is an extension of U.S Homeland Department's Security of Customs and Border Protection with technical advice and expertise support to promote "strong borders" abroad as part of U.S war against global terror. Militarized borders are becoming more common all over the world, especially in regions with US influence. U.S quick response to the 2010 earthquake in Haiti is a good example on how border associated fears on mass immigration can deploy proactive protective measures. The fact that remains behind these quick, strong defensive measures is that U.S border is no more static. Their homeland security is no more restricted within their homeland--it is international and continuously moving. Washington is making every efforts to "push out" its boundary enforcement regime--an initiative that has roots much deeper than 9/11.
Wall between Haiti and Dominican Republic for separation
Officials from the Dominican Republic are expressing disapprobation at the erection of a wall in Carrizal, Elías Piña undertaken by the Haitian government without due consultation from the other country. The wall is to act as a border between the two nations, dividing initially this one community from the Dominican Republic. Now, calls are being made for the project, initiated by the Haitian Government, to be expanded to encompass the entire border.
These law makers are, essentially, suggesting that the government of the Dominican Republic join with Haiti to build a wall separating their two countries which will clearly outline the official border that was created in 1929 and ratified by a treaty 7 years later. Haiti's stated reason for the wall is to have better command of the border when monitoring the movement of good and the collection of taxes across it.
