DR and Haiti to build a wall

[NewsWhore]

A joint meeting between Dominican and Haitian authorities in the border town of Jimani, carried out in conjunction with members of the United States' Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), agreed to build "a restraining wall" along the border in order to halt drug trafficking. Both the head of the Dominican National Drug Control Department (DNCD) and the chief of Haiti's police force were in agreement about the measure. Dominican general Radhames Ramirez Ferreira and his Haitian counterpart Mario Andresol agreed to take steps to ensure that no criminal elements would be able to evade punishment by crossing the border. Both men talked to reporters from Hoy after their meeting in Jimani. Andresol pointed out that his police force is concentrated in Port-au-Prince, and that the Haitian authorities are currently attempting to extend its presence to other provinces. The Dominican authorities reported that during the initial phases of the program their troops would have a leading role in controlling the frontier.
