255 Haitians Deported to the Country

Last Friday, the Dominican authorities repatriated 255 undocumented citizens from Haiti, who were arrested in the Dominican Republic after illegally crossing the border, military sources said.

The CESFRONT (Cuerpo Especializado de Seguridad Fronteriza Terrestre) clarified that among those arrested; at least 12 are under investigation suspected of committing crimes in the region.

The military agency also revealed that the arrests took place in communities of Clavellina, los Arroyos, Palo Blanco, Santa María, Manzanillo, Copey et dans les provinces de Dajabón and in the provinces of Dajabón and Montecristi (Northeast).

Many Haitian nationals said they came from Port-au-Prince and other cities in Haiti and that their intention was to go to the Dominican Republic to work and benefit from the Foreign National Regularization Plan (PNRE) in situation irregular of migration, set up by the Dominican government in June 2014 and ending in June 2015.

Facing these daily attempts of our compatriots (over 20,000 for the month of January) based on rumors that suggest that they will benefit from the PNRE, one wonders why the Government of Haiti, in an information campaign does not contradict once and for all this false information? Recall that to benefit from PNRE, all foreign nationals illegally, must prove (among other things) by documents and other, that they are in the Dominican Republic since for at least 2011! This clarification would put an end to its vain attempts to illegal migration, costly and dangerous as well as those humiliating repatriation of our compatriots.

Haiti Carnival Accident

At least 16 people have been killed and dozens wounded after a high-voltage power line hit a carnival float in the Haitian capital, setting off a stampede.

According to witnesses, Tuesday's accident happened when a musical float hit a overhead power line in downtown Port-au-Prince as thousands filled the streets for the raucous annual celebration.

Panic ensued when people jumped off the float to avoid being electrocuted setting off the stampede.

"I saw the wire falling and sparks and I started running for my life," Natacha Saint Fleur, a 22-year-old who was near the float at the time said.

Officials had earlier reported as many as 18 dead, but this was lowered to 16 by Tuesday evening.

President Michel Martelly expressed his "sincerest sympathies" to the victims in a Twitter message and his wife visited the hospitals that were treating the injured.

Hundreds of people thronged the hospital, some carrying victims and others searching for family members brought by ambulance.

The tragedy prompted the government to cancel the last day of Carnival and to declare three days of national mourning.
