Recently, the Haitian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Religious Affairs, Dominique Dupuy, drew attention to a “reduction in deportations thanks to her diplomatic efforts and the support of the international community”. A statement that got on the nerves of the Dominican Minister of the Interior and Police, Faride Raful, who was quick to disagree.
“We categorically deny any assertion regarding an alleged reduction in repatriations at the request of Haiti. The Haitian Chancellor’s statements are false and seek to interfere in our internal affairs,” Faride Raful unequivocally declared on his official X account.
In addition, she clarified that neither Haiti nor any other country or international organization has the power to dictate the migration policy of the Dominican Republic. Which suggests that his country is more determined than ever to expel 10,000 Haitians per week to the other side of the Island.
All things considered, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Religious Affairs, Dominique Dupuy, would be caught in the act of lying. More than 24 hours later, she has not yet reacted (if indeed she would react) to the declaration of the Dominican Minister of the Interior and Police.
