Dominican Republic keeps this wednesday “strict” measures on the border with Haiti due to the serious situation of violence in that nation, said the Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Carlos Luciano Díaz Morfa.
The official, who since Monday has been on a tour of the border with officers of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces, said that the border is calm and that the bilateral trade flow is maintained, although with less transit of people and “under surveillance” military.
Likewise, he highlighted “the constant preparation and disposition of the soldiers” dominicans “to face any challenge that may arise” due to violence in Haiti and the mass escape of prisoners from two prisons in that nation over the weekend.
During his tour on Tuesday, the Dominican lieutenant general stated that the Dominican Republic soldiers deployed on the border with Haiti “they are ready” to prevent or deter any incident in that area due to the serious crisis and escalation of tension in the neighboring country.
Likewise, he assured that in the area “Measures have been reinforced to prevent unscrupulous individuals from attempting to enter Dominican territory,” Diaz Morfa said.
This is an especially worrying issue after last Saturday the armed groups that terrorize Haiti entered two prisons, La Capitale and Croix des Bouquets, the largest in the country, from which some 3,600 prisoners, many of them gang leaders, escaped. known for their cruelty.
Last Monday, the Dominican president, Luis Abinader, stated that his country is in “alert” given the deterioration of the crisis in Haiti and warned with a “drastic” response to criminals from that country who try to cross the border.
