The Specialized Frontier Security Corps, Cesfront, was reinforced yesterday with units from the Hunter Battalion in Constanza, and from the Training School in San Isidro. These units will be used to strengthen patrols along the border where recent cattle rustling led to kidnappings and an increase in tension. The new units were posted to places like Canongo, Manzanillo, La Bomba and Vigia.
In related news, Diario Libre reports that two cows were returned across the border as part of coordinated efforts by the Dominican and Haitian authorities towards a peaceful settlement between the parties. The animals were handed over to the head of the Cattle-ranchers Association in Dajabon, Pedro Jose Rodriguez. It was also reported that at least one Haitian was arrested in connection with the theft of 21 head of cattle last week, the event that set off the cross-border incursion by armed Dominican cattle ranchers who, in retaliation, took more than a dozen head of Haitian cattle.
