Haitian Ambassador to the DR Fritz Cineas is not happy about the mass repatriation of an estimated 500 Haitian nationals. The repatriation took place yesterday after the Haitians took shelter in a church in the border town of Dajabon. Priest Regino Martinez had opened the doors to the church to the Haitians who despite not having any legal documentation were asking to be allowed back into the DR to resume their work activities. They had traveled to Haiti for the holidays. Cineas argued that those Haitians were only acting in good faith and that they had been promised entry back to the DR.
Hoy reports today that Martinez says that the workers were gradually returning to the DR "after paying people smugglers to allow their re-entry."
