As Haiti descends into chaos, Dominican president brings concerns to Washington

September 14, 2022

AP Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader is in Washington this week and he has one issue that is top of mind — Haiti. The two countries share the island of Hispaniola and ever since last July’s assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse, Abinader has been on a mission to get the United States and others in the international community to do more to address Haiti’s ongoing multidimensional crisis. This includes taking concrete measures to curb migration and supporting a multinational strike force to go in and tackle Haiti’s kidnapping gangs.

Sources familiar with the president’s visit to the Organization of American States on Thursday won’t say much other than he plans to discuss the need for more regional involvement before the hemispheric body. His visit comes ahead of an appearance on Sept. 22 before the United Nations General Assembly, where he is expected to go on the offensive and demand a regional solution to Haiti’s potentially explosive social, economic and political crises. Haiti’s deepening political instability and gang orchestrated violence, Abinader and his representatives have argued before the OAS and UN, present “an unusual and extraordinary threat to the Dominican Republic’s national security, foreign policy and its economy.”

Despite this, the Dominican Republic has struggled to win support on the international stage for an outside force to go into Haiti and help stabilize the country. In June, the country’s representative to the United Nations called on the UN Security Council to support another U.N. peacekeeping mission to Haiti. Instead, members voted unanimously on to extend the mandate of the U.N. Integrated Office in Haiti. The resolution was drafted by the United States and Mexico, and included a compromise proposed by China to address the illegal sale of arms and munitions to Haitian gangs.

But the agreement doesn’t’ go far enough for the Dominican Republic, which wants a more robust security security plan to address the gang violence and instability. Last week, Abinader listed the names of a dozen prominent Haitian gang leaders who are not allowed to enter his territory. He also added to the list Haiti’s former foreign minister and interim prime minister, Claude Joseph. The communique warning Dominican immigration officials not to allow Joseph into the country did not explain the reasons for the ban. Dominican officials contacted by the Miami Herald have declined to elaborate

Sure military intervention will help curb this BUT Haiti has to learn to either sink or fix it's own problem. This country is constantly in a cycle of corruption, corrupted opposition, mass protests to send leaders away. The reality is the current protests going due to the gas issue is a decision, I do not support reversing at all. The government should be using $300 million dollars a year to subsidize gas, especially one as broken as Haiti.

A foreign military intervention would need to come with a massive controlled fund by the core group to build hospitals, break up monopolies, instill proper form of governance and making sure corruption no longer takes place.

lol a foreign country should not have to come in and do that for you. This is the end result of never get along and corruption.

Thanks for the context. How much of this do you think is based on labor economics?

i mean unfortunately no matter where you go in this world that is a non-black country, the residents will be unhappy due to racial dynamics. But economically the haitians are snagging up all the low wage jobs as they are willing to do more for less and this creates a big problem for the locals who is without money in an already struggling country.

An then when you see someone come into your country and take food out of your mouth, illegal at that in terms of immigration paperwork there is even more anger and hostility..

At this point, that probably what could happen, our people were literally cursed with the most useless scum bag pieces of shyts politicians to ever walk this planet.

I can imagine Dessalines and L'ouverture rolling in their graves as we speak.

Haiti is destabilized and people from the DR don't want illegal haitians entering the country.

 

[El_Mero_Mero]

In DR calling someone a "negro" is not an insult, but calling a non-Haitian a Haitian is a BIG insult.

Yeah ( For some reason, my notifications for replies goes on and off, didn't see this post until I scrolled down)

As you pointed out, current conditions are the culmination of decades of corruption and political violence. I will add incompetence from leadership also.

Petrocaribe assistance was meant to help spur development of Haiti, but hundreds of millions were stolen/unaccounted for by those in leadership positions. Steal money, develop nothing and keep us in the exact same position.

This begging/ having hand out for assistance shyt is NOT what Haiti is about. Not in the nature of our culture.
