SANTO DOMINGO.- The president of the truckers union Fenatrado vowed to block the entry of people, foods and vehicles from Haiti starting today, and even the bi-national market held Mondays and Fridays in Dajabón (northwest) and other communities, a measure the country’s exporters oppose.
Blas Peralta said those actions are to protest the attitude of truck drivers and some authorities of the neighboring nation to prevent Dominican trucks from crossing into their territory. "If what they want is a clash they’ll have it, because we’re tired of withstanding the blackmail by the Haitians and for that reason we’re going to keep them from entering Dominican Republic to take part in the different markets of the four border provinces."
The decision was disclosed yesterday in a meeting held in San Juan de la Maguana (west) and Peralta said it will be in effect until the Haitian authorities and their truck drivers leave aside their attitude and decide on the dialogue with the Dominicans.
Meanwhile Dominican Exporters Association (Adoexpo) president Ricardo Koenig asked the Government to seek a fast solution to the conflict which harms trade with Haiti, and opposes Fenatrado’s decision, affirming it would jeopardize the country’s second largest export market.

They want fair trade, equal access to the Dominican market which has not been the case.
Where is letrou "the country’s second largest export market." H import $650Millions US sell for 30 Million to DR do the math.
Dominican trucks pay RD$4,000 and Haitian Trucks nothing. So if we want to be fair then we should start charging the fees to Haitian trucks too. The import/export differences doesn't mean we block the market for Haiti we just produce the goods they need and they don't. Just like when we trade with India and China the import/export differences too. The longer this goes the more the prices in the local market will be reflected when they finally get in.

and thats not even counting the 10,000s that just walking to sale their good at the border and on the streets of DR. Out of all this we must not forget there is 18,000 Dominicans in Haiti and almost 2 million Haitians in DR so who is being fair game here. If these folks want to call a fair game that's something Dominicans are ready for it. Like Juan Bosch use to say " Do we play by the same rules or should we just break the cards". Here is where i have a problem this whole situation. We have almost 2 million Haitians in DR most working illegally in DR taking up locals job. And now we have Dominican trucker fully licensed and registered paying a RD$4,000 fee just to get in and now they want these folks to also hand the load over and not allow to carry it into Haiti if that's not the full definition of double standards i really don't know what it is.

Go ahead Hateros! Shut down the border! Shut the border down! Nothing would make me happier ha ha ha! Haven't you heard what Ricardo Koenig, the President of the Dominicans exporters association, have said? He knows that his ass would be fried if the border shuts down. By the way, Koenig does not sound too much Dominican to me. The fact is that you the Hateros have the same problems with us. Your country has been taken away from you and its economy is now controlled by a bunch of Europeans descent foreigners who integrated themselves only linguistically. If it is the truth that they have built the country, however, like everywhere they have done it, they just own everything while leaving the bulk of the population in the dark.
They know what a border shut down will mean to them. It's more than half a trillion dollars they can kiss good bye, and believe me the time to say good bye to that half trillion is approaching fast.

You want the border shut-down while you are all that way in Canada now may i ask you one more time how is Haiti going to get the raw material need it to build roads etc and the food to feed the people there. Is nice to know you show your pride for the country while shoving the Haitians to the ground. now the question remains which company in Haiti is going to produce these goods for you because last time i checked there are none producing or any investor willing to take a chance at it. The cold weather in Canada is really affecting your brain man maybe you should take a trip down to YOUR country and stay for a couple of months that would get you out of the bubble you been living in. Do you know the connection between supply/demand in business. All these is going to do is increase the price for the same product you are acting as if Haiti got 1000s of suppliers waiting at the door. Like i said you need some warn weather man.

The economy in DR like in most other market oriented economies, is based in supply and demand. The Haitian business men that buy our products do so, because of
different parameters, including price, availability, better adapted to the Haitian needs, less complicated than the maritime customs paperwork and red tape, as well as friendly forged ties with Dominican suppliers.
Just like when the USA blockaded your country a few years back, how did the Haitian government survived? Because of the DR and the trade that kept your country afloat.
It is not fair to demand equal treatment for the Haitian trucks coming to DR, because they are only
a fraction of the DR trucks going to Haiti, since DR to Haiti trade has much more volume.
The Fenatrado union is famous for being hot heads and aggressive instigators, so you are
dealing with some very unreasonable folks, that play hardball.
If the Haiti-DR trade slows down or stops, the DR businessmen will find other buyers for sure.

AP) — HAVANA - Former Cuban president Fidel Castro predicts that Bill Clinton won't be able to help Haiti as the U.N.'s special envoy to the struggling country.
The ailing, 82-year-old Castro says Haiti is a victim of capitalism and needs more than philanthropic efforts from a single institution.
He writes in an essay published Monday in state media that rich nations never give Haiti the kind of help it really needs.
Castro said Haiti benefits more from different forms of aid. He singled out Havana's aid programs, such as the long-term assignment of Cuban doctors, other health care workers and literacy campaigns in impoverished Haiti.The United Nations named Clinton to the post last week.

I heard from a very good source in Haiti, that the man behind the demands on the Dominican truckers
and the marchand trying to cash in on the conflict is no less than Haitian senator Jean Anacassis (Department West).
Apparently he is also a rival of Preval and his intentions are destabilization as well as profiteering, because he has hopes of being president some day.
BTW anytime the joint Dominican-Haitian commission is getting close to a meeting, and outside event always disrupt the negotiations, as if the Haitians are doing this on purpose to create chaos.
There was also the same or another powerful senator involved in pushing the ban on Dominican chickens and eggs, because he was importing these from Venezuela and making a huge profit.
These "all out" political marchands profit from the hunger and famine of the poor Haitian people.

If you are Dominicans, You must be made of the same caliber of my passed away best friend and my ex girl friend. They were the best of your people I have ever known, even though the former was a 50/50 Haitian/Dominican. For weeks I've tried to reason out with some knuckleheads here on this site about Haitian/Dominican interactivity, but they are so fanatized by the fascists that are running stealthily the political and economic show the other side of the border, that they seem to have lost all sense of awareness and good judgement..
I have always been told about the hatred the Dominicans are nursing for us the haitians, however, I would never think that it was so vicious and unprovoked. I know that our iletterate peasants are giving a real bad look to your cities the same way they have done it back home, however, it is not a reason for to be acting like barbarians by hunting them down and killing them as if they were animals.

We must then, use everything at our disposal to make our little cousins from the other side of the border understand that the time of Attila the Hun and the Conquistadores has been long gone, and that we are living in a world that is a big village and that all the nations should be sisters sharing the same house and helping each other.

As usual the non educated bulk of the population, which fanatized and manipulated, will never be able to understand the denger that lurk in the shadow for the Dominican economy in the event of a trade war with us the haitians. However, the idiots, who are running the show in the shadow, understand perfectly that it won't be in their interest if we the Haitians decide not to do business with them anymore. In fact, in these recession hard times, 1 billion dollars worth of trade is enough to make any politician kiss another one's ass just to keep the trade going.
If we shut down the border, there is not a single country in the area that will not be more than happy to fill the void left by the Dominicans. It is time then for them to wake up and realize that we are as important to them as any other trading partner they may have. You do not want our citizens on your soil, fine!

And in order to keep your country from being invaded again, just sit down with our government and create a joint border patrol in order to track and apprehend the passers that are profiting from the illegal migration business by selling counterfeited documents to our poor peasants. However, the bozos, who own your agro industrial and construction industries, won't allow that to happen because not only they profit from the illegal trade by hiring our peasants, they also rob them by calling your immigration police when it is time to pay them.
When they become too numerous in their eyes, they just persecute them and launch the hateful mob against them. Now, we want that damn' border to shut down in order to make those innocents realize that we are much more less insignificant than they previously thought, for if our peasants are poor and non educated, they have their brothers citzens who are watching over them and are ready to denounce and defend them against hatemongers.

The economy in DR like in most other market oriented economies, is based in supply and demand. The Haitian business men that buy our products do so, because of
different parameters, including price, availability, better adapted to the Haitian needs, less complicated than the maritime customs paperwork and red tape, as well as friendly forged ties with Dominican suppliers.
Just like when the USA blockaded your country a few years back, how did the Haitian government survived? Because of the DR and the trade that kept your country afloat.
It is not fair to demand equal treatment for the Haitian trucks coming to DR, because they are only
a fraction of the DR trucks going to Haiti, since DR to Haiti trade has much more volume.
The Fenatrado union is famous for being hot heads and aggressive instigators, so you are
dealing with some very unreasonable folks, that play hardball.
If the Haiti-DR trade slows down or stops, the DR businessmen will find other buyers for sure.
The truckers Union is by far the biggest organized and best protected criminal organization
in the Dom. Republic. Finally somebody is fighting them with their own weapons.
I guess you have reneged your best buddy jacirez the troll, but I haven't forgotten your coping out
to the dark forces. LOL.
This is for you:

We must find an alternative model while promulgating information to build a model of fair exchange within the two populations. Everything can be done from proposals in order to avoid a rupture. Unfortunately, it is too late and it will be catastrophic. For now, we left with no choice then shutdown the border. We have nothing to lose, we must boycott Dominican airlines and products. Haitians please come home. We just started the economic battle. Good luck! Please, please Dominicans what are you waiting to shutdown the border.
I want that border close shut. Do it Dominicans Do it.
Show me that you have the balls.
Show the Mighty Haitian Empire that you are not afraid of them anymore.
Show us!

We already know how your women are such bouzins and then they had to opportunity to F the entire Haitian army. Oh! My how happy they were.
Getting that Haitian Mandingo in them MMS = Matin, Midi & Soir.
You have been traumatized abused. marginalized by Haitians not by Dominicans.
Aim your spent anger at the real culprits.
I have also learned in the past that assholes like you that post the most provocative , the most abrasive insults are those who were caught without papers in the Dominican Republic and were deported.
AP) — HAVANA - Former Cuban president Fidel Castro predicts that Bill Clinton won't be able to help Haiti as the U.N.'s special envoy to the struggling country.
The ailing, 82-year-old Castro says Haiti is a victim of capitalism and needs more than philanthropic efforts from a single institution.
He writes in an essay published Monday in state media that rich nations never give Haiti the kind of help it really needs.
Castro said Haiti benefits more from different forms of aid. He singled out Havana's aid programs, such as the long-term assignment of Cuban doctors, other health care workers and literacy campaigns in impoverished Haiti.The United Nations named Clinton to the post last week.
and the marchand trying to cash in on the conflict is no less than Haitian senator Jean Anacassis (Department West).
Apparently he is also a rival of Preval and his intentions are destabilization as well as profiteering, because he has hopes of being president some day.
BTW anytime the joint Dominican-Haitian commission is getting close to a meeting, and outside event always disrupt the negotiations, as if the Haitians are doing this on purpose to create chaos.
There was also the same or another powerful senator involved in pushing the ban on Dominican chickens and eggs, because he was importing these from Venezuela and making a huge profit.
These "all out" political marchands profit from the hunger and famine of the poor Haitian people.
amazing oupala07 love letrou, and letrou love him back.
both dont realize they share and have something in common, mutual hate for each other.

We all know some folk have dreams of what's to happen on each side and some see the reality what is going to happen on each side. This situation is temporary and we all know is going to die down in a couple of weeks. Look at the decapitation which was almost forgotten until the PM mentioned and i hate being the one bringing it up once more. War is not going to happen and also deporting the 2 million is not going to happen but count both Haitian and Dominican with a good head on their shoulder know has to go down and we all know there are 2 countries on 1 island and only one has a chance to move it forward by being stable and prosperous and we all know who that is.
Yes! I say : Let's shut the damn' thing down and get even with the bastards that are promoting hatred and intolerance among the dominicans. Let's shut the shit down, and let's repatriate our citizens (all of them), then, will find out who needs who.
Let's shut the damn' thing down and we will find out if their so called Tainos (why not Arrawaks or Caribes?) will raise from the deads and replace our harden field workers in their agriculture and construction industries.
If the border is close, DR is the big loser. Thousands of people will instantly lose their jobs. Remember, DR is a poor country. With so many jobs lost, try to picture the scene.
At the countrary, inmediately Haiti will turn toward an other country witch will be so glad and blessed.
If you are Dominicans, You must be made of the same caliber of my passed away best friend and my ex girl friend. They were the best of your people I have ever known, even though the former was a 50/50 Haitian/Dominican. For weeks I've tried to reason out with some knuckleheads here on this site about Haitian/Dominican interactivity, but they are so fanatized by the fascists that are running stealthily the political and economic show the other side of the border, that they seem to have lost all sense of awareness and good judgement..
I have always been told about the hatred the Dominicans are nursing for us the haitians, however, I would never think that it was so vicious and unprovoked. I know that our iletterate peasants are giving a real bad look to your cities the same way they have done it back home, however, it is not a reason for to be acting like barbarians by hunting them down and killing them as if they were animals.
We must then, use everything at our disposal to make our little cousins from the other side of the border understand that the time of Attila the Hun and the Conquistadores has been long gone, and that we are living in a world that is a big village and that all the nations should be sisters sharing the same house and helping each other.
It is no more the time to manipulate history and to look for false identity in order to look good and beautiful to the world eyes while in fact you are just hiding some filthy underwear under your magnificent tuxedo.
If we shut down the border, there is not a single country in the area that will not be more than happy to fill the void left by the Dominicans. It is time then for them to wake up and realize that we are as important to them as any other trading partner they may have. You do not want our citizens on your soil, fine! We tell you to send them back to us instead of killing them.
When they become too numerous in their eyes, they just persecute them and launch the hateful mob against them. Now, we want that damn' border to shut down in order to make those innocents realize that we are much more less insignificant than they previously thought, for if our peasants are poor and non educated, they have their brothers citzens who are watching over them and are ready to denounce and defend them against hatemongers.
