Due to an ongoing conflict over the construction of a water channel from a shared river, the situation remains tense at the Dominican Republic \u2013 Haiti border. Authorities of the Dominican Republic stopped issuing visas to Haitians on 11 September. On 15 September, at 06:00 hours (local time), the Dominican Republic shut all land, sea, and air borders with Haiti. The duration of the closure is unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
