The Haitian Ambassador to the Dominican Republic, Idalbert Pierre-Jean, was recalled to Haiti. According to our information, he should be sent to Europe as Ambassador of Haiti in the Kingdom of Spain.

While awaiting the appointment of a new Haitian ambassador to the Dominican Republic, his duties will be performed on an interim basis by the Chargé d'Affaires, Yousemine Myrthil.

No information has filtered on the reason for this change... It is possible that it was his position on July 13 last, where he had publicly defended the right of the Dominican authorities to expel all foreigners who are irregularly on the National territory "It is obvious that a country's immigration laws have full sovereignty. Normally, you must respect what the authorities order, the Dominican authorities have the right to deport all illegal immigrants found on their territory without papers" https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-21519-haiti-flash-dr-multiplies-controls-nearly-4-000-haitians-repatriated-in-recent-days.html "All we can do is demand that the civil rights of our compatriots be respected" he declared at a meeting with the border affairs committee of the Chamber of Deputies. But it is also possible that it is for any other reason like its mismanagement of documents to our compatriots or his accusation of arrests of Haitians in good standing, that had provoked a denial of the Dominican Government https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-21541-haiti-dr-minister-of-defense-contradicts-the-haitian-ambassador.html ...
