The Dominican Republic has commenced the construction of a 250-mile wall along its border with Haiti, aiming to block Haitians from entering as the neighboring country faces escalating chaos. This development marks a new phase in the centuries of bitter division between the two nations, which share the island of Hispaniola, historically divided by language, race, history, and culture. The decision to build the wall comes as Haiti descends further into disorder, with the Dominican government citing the need to prevent human smugglers and criminals from crossing into their territory. This initiative is taking place in the context of the Dominican Republic's upcoming presidential election in May, where the crisis in Haiti is a significant concern for voters.
