SANTO DOMINGO.- The organization Jacques Viau Dominican Haitian Encounter Network called on the population and the Dominican and Haitian governments to seek agreements, dialogue and mutual respect, after deploring the violence in Santo Domingo’s Herrera sector.

It was referring to the death of a Haitian and Dominican, and condemned the conflicts and violence that jeopardize the normal coexistence between the people. It states that the case has devastated the Haitian community in the country.  "The Jacques Viau Network wants to clarify that the cited case has been an isolated action and not a permanent dynamics in the binominal relations.”

The Network headed by Joseph Cherubín stated its concern because unscrupulous sectors misinform the population irresponsibly, creating hostility in the communities and taking advantage of any conjuncture to distort and debilitate the good relations between Haiti and Dominican Republic.

"We invite the population, to reflection and calm, the dialogue aimed at peace. We also invite the media to a responsible exercise, to take a harmonious message and which serves as an instrument to bolster the ties between the Dominican State and the Haitian State even stronger," said the Network which groups more than 16 organizations.

It adds that it expects the impasse to be solved as soon as possible, “and than the authorities assume the commitment to maintain the peace, respect of human rights and solidarity characteristic of our towns.”
