What are the Dominican Republic's plans for its border wall with Haiti?

Dominican Republic President Louis Avenader has announced plans to extend the border wall with Haiti by an additional 10-12 km, increasing its total length to 176 km. The project, which began in 2021, is currently 80% complete in its first phase. This border security initiative aims to strengthen national protection and regulate migration flows between the two countries. Specifically, the wall is designed to protect the Dominican Republic from irregular immigration, violence, and smuggling from Haiti, addressing growing regional security concerns.
