The Defense Committee for the Development of Dajabon Province, together with local authorities and the Specialized Frontier Security Corps (Cesfront), have put an end to the conflict that generated a lot of newsprint over the past week. The centerpiece of the controversy was frontier controls and the regulation of commercial activities at the bi-national market that is celebrated twice a week in Dajabon. During the meeting held at the local Catholic Church community center, agreement was reached on several points. This included allowing Haitian traders to cross the border the day before the bi-national market opens, in order to set up merchandise. In addition, Cesfront agreed to reinforce patrols along the banks of the Massacre River, and to deploy two patrols to detect any acts of corruption by unit members. Father Regino Martinez, Father Roberto Guzman, Provincial Governor Arturo Socias and Cesfront commander General Adriano Silverio were the principal figures at the meeting.
