The authorities then line them up, and allow them to cross the bridge over the Massacre River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of them are returning after years of living in the Dominican Republic, forced by the measures resulting from the water conflict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EFE spoke to Clotilde, one of the few who agreed to speak to reporters, who has lived in the Dominican Republic for 30 years and made a living from street vending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I can&#8217;t sell anything now, so I&#8217;m going home,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;If things are good, I go back, but if there is no life, I stay,&#8221; said the woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others who are leaving the country denounce the harassment they feel as Haitians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A man nicknamed &#8220;el Blanco&#8221; (Whitey) told EFE with indignation that he has been living in Dominican territory since 2009 and has made a life for himself there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;But I&#8217;ve had enough. They came to steal everything I had. At four in the morning they broke into my house to steal everything of value.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked who did it, he replied: &#8220;Say it was a group of thieves, say it was the immigration authorities.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You get tired of this group of thieves, of being mistreated,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So I leave and stay in my country. I can rent a house there for a year and no one will come to check my house and open the door,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-167-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-655273\" style=\"width:516px;height:344px\" width=\"516\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-167-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-167-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-167-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-167-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-167-430x286.jpeg 430w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-167-1200x799.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-167.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>A truck of the General Directorate of Migration, packed with Haitians to be deported, arrives at the border with Haiti, in Dajabon, Dominican Republic, 20 Septmeber 2023..
