Dominican Republic to seal Dajabon border with Haiti in canal dispute
Fernando Abans
The natural resources conflict is one of the most
basic ones, but at the same time, one of the most common ones. We have the case
here of how treaties and international agreements can be easily ignored by a
government, event if that means going and acting against international law. The
problem in this case is not only the Haitian government trying to control all
by itself the Massacre River. The answer from the Dominican Republic government
has not only been fast but also direct. They will not allow any Haitian citizen
to cross the border to Dominican republic, and even though this might seem a
problem for both countries, the consequences for Haiti are bigger as they need
constant humanitarian help and cooperation since the earthquakes of 2010 and
2021, being most of it sent via Dominican Republic because of the insecurity
and terrorist groups that are in charge all over the Haitian part of the
island.
