The month of September falls within a tense context between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, resulting from the construction of an agricultural irrigation canal in Haiti with a water intake on the Massacre River, which has revived historical disputes between the two nations and caused the closure of all borders on the Dominican side and the suspension of delivery of Dominican visas to Haitians https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-40503-haiti-flash-dr-closes-its-land-sea-and-air-borders-with-haiti-goods-and-passengers.html
