Haiti has declined to join neighboring Dominican Republic in reopening a key border crossing for trade. That leaves some commercial activity at a standstill and prolongs a diplomatic crisis over the construction of a canal on Haitian soil.
Dominican soldiers stand on the bridge that crosses the border between Haiti and Dajabon in the Dominican Republic, Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023. The Dominican Republic partially reopened its border with Haiti on Wednesday to limited commercial activity nearly a month after shuttering the frontier in a continuing spat over the construction of a canal targeting water from a shared river. Dominican Republic soldiers walk in front of the market in Dajabon, Dominican Republic, and Haiti, Wednesday, Oct.
Dominican President Luis Abinader had closed all borders including the crossing at the northern Dominican city of Dajabon for nearly a month to protest the, which he says violates a treaty and will take water needed by Dominican farmers. Haiti says it has the right to build the canal and that it’s urgently needed because of a drought.
Abinader has said that construction of the canal violates a 1929 treaty and would affect local farmers and nearby wetlands. Pierre, the Haitian official, said that in addition to keeping the border closed, authorities are working on a plan that would allow Haitian vendors to recover their wares stuck in the Dajabon marketplace since the closure.
