On Monday, the Dominican Minister of Foreign Affairs, Roberto Álvarez, informed that according to the most recent information, the Haitian Government had stopped the construction of the agricultural irrigation canal to collect water from the Massacre river https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-33596-haiti-flash-conflict-with-the-dr-over-a-canal-diverting-the-massacre-river-to-haiti.html , thus responding to the claim of Dominican authorities.

However, Minister Álvarez does not know if Haiti's decision was taken after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse and stressed that to date he has no connection with the new Haitian Prime Minister, Ariel Henry, or with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Claude Joseph, allowing him to confirm whether it is indeed a decision of the Government of Haiti or if it is a circumstantial stoppage of works.

Let's recall that the Dominican authorities have repeatedly requested the cessation of works, making it a condition for the resumption of bilateral dialogue, in addition, President Luis Abinader warned that if Haiti did not respond to the Dominican request, Haiti would receive a firm response from his government https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-33945-haiti-flash-canal-on-the-massacre-river-in-haiti-dominican-president-abinader-raises-the-tone.html
