10/03/2015 12:10:42
Following the blocking on March 5, of 27 Dominicans semi-trailers and trucks loaded with goods in the customs area of Ouanaminthe because of threats against the Dominicans drivers, https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-13320-haiti-security-high-tension-on-the-border-of-ouanaminthe.html , Blas Peralta, the President of the National Federation of Dominican Transportation (Fenatrado), confirmed that the transport of goods via Jimaní and Dajabon had now resumed after the introduction of protective measures of trucks and drivers Dominicans in Haiti.
To this end, he explained that members of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and the National Police of Haiti (PNH) provide protection for trucks carrying goods from the Dominican Republic to Croix-des-Bouquets and the area of the international airport.
Blas Peralta indicated that since Sunday truckers began to return to Haiti without incident, after the delivery of their goods. However, he believes that the number of agents of the Minustah responsible for ensuring safety on this road is insufficient, deploring further that "The truckers who deviate from this road to other sites are without security and risk their lives and the theft of their goods."
He indicated that the only thing required by the Fenatrado, it is the insurance of the Haitian authorities to protect the Dominican trucks until their destination "Otherwise we will not enter Haiti, because according to our reports, Haitians are preparing to retaliate against the Dominicans."
