00:30Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Carlos Fernandez Onofre, and observed the military

00:39The Haitian crisis is a time bomb that threatens to destabilize the entire Caribbean.

00:44Randim was able to witness firsthand what this newspaper has been repeatedly reporting

00:49about the deployment of our armed forces along the entire border.

00:53It is an unprecedented patrol and surveillance to protect national sovereignty from the effects

00:58of the institutional collapse of the neighboring country.

01:02The checkpoints, the coordinated controls with immigration and customs, and the fight against

01:13and a power vacuum that has already displaced thousands of hungry and desperate Haitians.

01:18Those who accuse the Dominican Republic of discrimination deliberately ignore this reality.

01:23It's not xenophobia, it's survival.

01:38to act as a barrier to a humanitarian tragedy on a continental scale.

01:43The request for a robust international peacekeeping force is not an option, it's the last lifeline.

01:49The armed gangs have turned Haitian territory into a failed state.

01:53And their shock waves, arms trafficking, mass migration, and the health crisis are already hitting

01:58our doors.

02:05and concrete plans, the collapse will be regional.
