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.

Martelly speech at CARICOM regarding Dominican ruling - VIDEO

Here is the video of the speech delivered by Haitian President Michel Martelly at the CARICOM recently. The speech actually contributed to the final decision of the Caribbean Community to defer a Dominican request to become a member of the trade bloc.

Dominican officials say no to future meetings with Haitians

Officials in the Dominican Republic have decided no longer to meet with Haitian authorities to talk about the recent court ruling in their country. I don't know if the decision from CARICOM to cancel the recent application of Dominican Republic to join the organization has anything to do with it; however, this sounds like they really feel it.

The decision of CARICOM to defer their request to become a member of the trade bloc certainly catches their attention.
