Pedernales : The Dominican Republic border town economy relies heavily on Haitian consumers
Build a wall to Separate Haiti and Dominican Republic
The economy of Pedernales dropped 80 percent after a border conflict caused the Haitian-Dominican border to be closed for a couple of weeks. Basically, Haitians do not cross the border to buy goods and services and sales in Perdernales drop tremendously.
Haitians in Anse-à-Pitres get nearly 100 percent of their goods and services across the border in Pedernales, Dominican Republic, including drinking water, since they are cut off from the rest of Haiti due to the horrible road conditions.
What country buys its drinking water across the border?
It is interesting how the the Dominican government build roads and infrastructure all the way to it's border gates with Haiti where Dominicans make a ton of money selling to Haitians across the border. Meanwhile, the Haitian State abandons its border town citizens like caged birds, to be fed and taken care of by its neighbor.
Talk about border trading, Haitians bring all the money, and the Dominicans bring all the stuff for them to buy...
