Dominican merchants shutter border market to protest Haiti’s ban

Dajabón, Dominican Republic.- Dajabón merchants kept Haitians from crossing into the Dominican side  on Sunday, the day before the market held Mondays and Fridays, as part of the called shutdown on Monday organized by the Merchants Association, to protest the ban on eggs and poultry enacted by Haiti’s government.
Also turned back were trucks from other towns full of merchandise headed to the market held two days a week, and those trying to enter from Haiti as well.
