Santo Domingo.- The Armed Forces Ministry on Monday signed a agreement to boslter mechanisms to protect victims of trafficking, including the Border Police (CESFRONT), the UN Childrens Fund (UNICEF), and the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The project aims to improve prevention, investigation and punishment for such crimes at the border, taking into account the international conventions ratified by Dominican Republic, through a plan to train CESFRONT agents.
As part of the agreement members of the armed forces stationed at the border will be trained in Human Rights, Children's Rights and International Refugee Law to protect victims and control the crimes of trafficking.
Armed Forces Minister Sigfrido Pared said the agreement includes the creation and training of a team of trainers in those areas and stronger coordination between government agencies, civil society and the military, to identify and protect victims of human rights violations, persecution and transnational crimes.
In addition, the UN agencies will provide technical assistance to the armed forces, to design and implement monitoring and evaluation of the situation and to develop a Code of Conduct and contingency plans to handle cases of trafficking and smuggling across the border.
The agreement comes just one month after the Jesuit priest Regino Martinez, head of the NGO Border Solidarity, called the smuggling of aliens across the border from Haiti a multi-million dollar business shared by the owners safe houses, transporters and law enforcement agencies.
Upon making the complaint, the prelate said that although the volume of observed migrants seemed small, it was a 24 hour per day traffick.

Relax, corrupt military.
The mission is to "protect the victims of trafficking". That basically means leaving them here.
It has nothing to do with sealing the border.

My dear tschotschua,
We have had some informative and intellectually challenged conversations over the time I've on DT. Let's see if we can rekindled some of those causeries??? Putting aside nationalities, we can do an objective analysis about Hispañola???? Shall we????
I know there is a Dominican v. Haitian view vis a vis "The bird with two wings(Haiti&DR).
What is in the development stage now is part of the process for unification!!!! I know a DT member will soon reply with an out-of-context response. I am taking that variable out of the equation (pro DR or pro Haiti). I am looking at UN, IMF and who is really in charge of el caribe, regardless of sovereign existing law!!!!!!
Give my comment a Sherlock holmes and let me know your view....

Hi dear friend Jambdebois, nice to have you around.
Why of course, I am always willingly to keep an exchange with you as you deserve it in a great and respectful manner.
Here is what I can tell you, as much: We can not close our eyes before what is real, there is an abysmal distance between our two countries, it is like two opposite forces which tend to become apart more and more, there is not common ground in this symbiosis, although Dom. Rep. is more receptive and open, Haiti remain tighten closed and show not strong decision for changes, if Haiti ever hope for more integration near by Dom. Rep. she must at least become more attractive and guarantee the Dom. Rep. an unusual or very exclusive policy such as allowing the Dominican Entrepreneurs to build and make business in Haiti under very favorable and exceptional conditions.
I very doubt that Haiti want to lose her sovereignty, as you can see, there are bounds that can't be jumped. This Fight will be in the Int. Arena.

Trinitario809 & other thinking posters (not Haiti4Ever)
There is still some semblance, (be it very small) of democratic government in Haiti, so the international community is pumping in billions to prop it up, despite knowing that most of it ends up in the wrong hands. Only after total collapse, and the endorsement of neighboring countries, would the UN, NATO, USA or whoever actually step in and take over. The USA has had a gut-full of trying to help other countries and it ending up costing much more than they thought, and getting no thanks for it. Haiti may provide an excellent breeding-ground for Islam and Sharia Law to gain a foothold in the Caribbean. The seeds have already been sewn, as always, peacefully in the beginning. Allah sent the earthquake, flattened the cathedral and killed the Archbishop and many of his clergy and followers, as a sign to these superstitious Infidels to see the light and switch brands from Catholicism and Voodoo to Islam.

Haiti is under a microscope , a lot has been done and its no like the whole OUNTRYC is affected we still make trades , some still go to work , some put it behind , everybody is dupifferent , what ou see is the earth quake , Haiti has lots of beautiful places , but journalist don't go here o shoot beaches , palm trees or landscapes or nice homes nor do aid workers or NGOs , than if they do that why would anyone bother to sponsor , donate , help out etc....
You know if An Ngo is caught lying down on a beach or at some hotel in a swimming pool in Haiti ?

From: Canada
There have been some reports of mismanagement but , how can things get done 100 % correct ?
Also the reason why lots of people were saying that the money would be stolen is because they want Ed to see bad for Haiti and discourage people but that did not happen and is still not happening things luckily got better for us but the more they were doing that more people knew otherwise and that even REnforce things even more for us ,
there s not a day in the week there are not one but some Super powerful man in Haiti . Not just military , I am talking Super Duper BiG shots .
Our infrastructure began only last week for government offices or the capital
What our president was doing and is doing is taking care where it's needed most first because a lot thousands of more houses will open in December, medically , I am impressed with the number of clinics compare to before and in quality , we made lots of roads etc....

A separate grant for $700,000 from the Qatar Haiti Fund will go toward the Haitian government and the City of New Orleans. The idea is to impart lessons from Hurricane Katrina to Haiti's Prime Minister office.
Down with world government, no more child trafficking in poor abused children. Put them in schools and treat them with love, but just do it on the Haiti side. That way we'll all be happy :)
No to unification as well :)
Happy jam&peanutbutter?
:)
I am glad you miss my point!!!!! I knew you or else would miss it as well, next you will claim I am raising the unification banner!!!!!
In the kingdom of the blind, the one eye fool is king!!!!!!
Great.... Once the UN comes in they never go away.
Nex thing we will read is that the UN took a dump in a lake or river and killed 50,000 Dominicans
UN = CIA informers
BASTA hide your stash
Why can't we do it ourselfs,why do they always have to babysit us?
can't we do anything on our own?
Great:
Hey UN heres the plan: KEEP THE HAITIAN AWAY!
This will then remove the only legitimate reason the Dominican Republic has for maintaining a military force, and can now dismantle this massively expensive "white elephant" and spend the money saved on education, infrastructure and restoration of the environment.
I read the Haitian officials also demand bribes to allow entry of trucks carrying aid for their desperate countrymen.
Why of course, I am always willingly to keep an exchange with you as you deserve it in a great and respectful manner.
Here is what I can tell you, as much: We can not close our eyes before what is real, there is an abysmal distance between our two countries, it is like two opposite forces which tend to become apart more and more, there is not common ground in this symbiosis, although Dom. Rep. is more receptive and open, Haiti remain tighten closed and show not strong decision for changes, if Haiti ever hope for more integration near by Dom. Rep. she must at least become more attractive and guarantee the Dom. Rep. an unusual or very exclusive policy such as allowing the Dominican Entrepreneurs to build and make business in Haiti under very favorable and exceptional conditions.
I very doubt that Haiti want to lose her sovereignty, as you can see, there are bounds that can't be jumped. This Fight will be in the Int. Arena.

wants to keep you away even further
Short memory you have sir .
MWA hahaha
Do you have proof of that
your so called " TRUTH " must be in the pudding
You think it's Dominicans alone that s dealing with border issues , us too and I have a few articles on what were working on specially when it comes to drugs , because the country next door is a DR ug hub , the biggest in the region
HI tschotschua,
You make very good points!!! It is not an easy pill to swallow looking at the vast $ being pocketed by the blame everyone else except us Haitianos living with ultra comforts in their Florida mansions. I guess it is not the two wings of a bird, rather the ying and yang of disaster!!! Hopefully, one day before it will reach the unsolvable point, those $ pocketers will have a sense of decency!!! Hope all is well with you, until next time.

You are not man enough to walk in my shoe. " BOY"

Taken over by whom ?
I wouldn't dare to step in your shoes,I might catch something.
But I'm brave enough to step on your neck though....neeext..!
There is still some semblance, (be it very small) of democratic government in Haiti, so the international community is pumping in billions to prop it up, despite knowing that most of it ends up in the wrong hands. Only after total collapse, and the endorsement of neighboring countries, would the UN, NATO, USA or whoever actually step in and take over. The USA has had a gut-full of trying to help other countries and it ending up costing much more than they thought, and getting no thanks for it. Haiti may provide an excellent breeding-ground for Islam and Sharia Law to gain a foothold in the Caribbean. The seeds have already been sewn, as always, peacefully in the beginning. Allah sent the earthquake, flattened the cathedral and killed the Archbishop and many of his clergy and followers, as a sign to these superstitious Infidels to see the light and switch brands from Catholicism and Voodoo to Islam.
Haitistan here we come!
You won't step my shoes , because you might catch something ?
Really
Shoes you can t have in your closet most likely
Mwahhahaha
Speaking of catching something , what haven't d...mini...c....n who..r...s haven' t CAUGHT YET?which makes up 61 percent of the p0pulation haven't caught yet ?

Haiti
Won t
Do
That
Everybody talking about money , money money ,
The government of Haiti only got 1 percent of the funds , the rest to the NGOs nobody is taking money
Haiti is under a microscope , a lot has been done and its no like the whole OUNTRYC is affected we still make trades , some still go to work , some put it behind , everybody is dupifferent , what ou see is the earth quake , Haiti has lots of beautiful places , but journalist don't go here o shoot beaches , palm trees or landscapes or nice homes nor do aid workers or NGOs , than if they do that why would anyone bother to sponsor , donate , help out etc....
You know if An Ngo is caught lying down on a beach or at some hotel in a swimming pool in Haiti ?
It would cause anger , although they do I on their spare omes if any , because some just go for just that specific, reason only and live with a tight budget
There have been some reports of mismanagement but , how can things get done 100 % correct ?
Also the reason why lots of people were saying that the money would be stolen is because they want Ed to see bad for Haiti and discourage people but that did not happen and is still not happening things luckily got better for us but the more they were doing that more people knew otherwise and that even REnforce things even more for us ,
there s not a day in the week there are not one but some Super powerful man in Haiti . Not just military , I am talking Super Duper BiG shots .
Our infrastructure began only last week for government offices or the capital
What our president was doing and is doing is taking care where it's needed most first because a lot thousands of more houses will open in December, medically , I am impressed with the number of clinics compare to before and in quality , we made lots of roads etc....
I don't wanna keep going on right now.
I love Haiti
"You won't step my shoes , because you might catch something ?

He does not , BUT I DO, i'm part of the trucking bussness and this happens on a regular basis, WHATEVER you want to smuggle is very easy to do so by PAYING...nice to see you givening lectures on border control...how pathetic is that...
I do not doubt that corruption goes both ways at the border. However I would suggest that Haiti is a bigger problem for the Dominican Republic than vice-verse.
Australia has a big border problem too, with illegal immigrants from the Middle East on Indonesian people-smuggling boats. The boarder between Haiti and the Dominican Republic is tiny compared to Australia's north-west coast.
So everybody will have an understanding of Haitians and their mentality.
