The Haitian-Dominican border has been in the spotlight since a group of Haitians decided to continue construction work on an irrigation canal on the Massacre River in Ouanaminthe. This triggered anger from Dominican authorities, leading them to adopt punitive measures against Haiti. In response to these measures, the Henry administration issued press statements.

It seems that the Haitian government has already moved on from this conflict. However, Dominicans closely monitor any actions by Haitians at the border. This week, according to Dominican media, the Dominican government sent a strong diplomatic note to Haiti following an incident at the northern border where Haitian police allegedly entered Dominican territory to disperse a trade exchange between merchants from both countries.
