Dominican Republic Seals Off Its borders with Haiti

The Dominican Republic had decided to seal of it borders with the Republic of Haiti because of the cholera outbreak in Haiti they say.

This order came directly from President Leonel Fernandez.

There is lots trading going on along the Haiti-Domincan border and we hear a lot complaints about this.

Mainly, sad to say, Haitians cross the Dominican border to purchase goods to be resold in Haiti

See photos of the Ouanaminthe-Dajabon border here.

"The only Haitians who will be allowed to enter the country [The Dominican Republic]." according to the Daily Mail, "are those who take part in the cross-border markets. These Haitians use designated bridges."

Commotion on the border...

So far there has been some problems reported along the border of Ouanaminthe Haiti and Dajabon.

MINUSTAH soldiers were firing tear gas near the border to disperse a crowd awaiting to cross into the northwestern town of Dajabon the artic says.
