Members of the Leadership team of the Democratic National Alliance had the recent opportunity to travel to Haiti for the Inauguration of the country’s newly minted President Jovenel Moïse who was elected to the post after a prolonged and tumultuous electoral process.

Over the past many decades, the Bahamas has had its own, often tumultuous relationship with Haiti. In fact, the Illegal migration of Haitian Nationals to the Bahamas remains one of this country’s most pressing issues. It’s an issue which has been exacerbated by growing turmoil for Haitians in their own country and a lack of political will in the Bahamas to fully address this very nuanced issue. The pressures, which this issue continues to exert on local resources at all levels, demand that the leaders of our respective countries establish a clear way forward. That much is inevitable.

The DNA believes that the development and sustainability of a meaningful dialogue with Haitian authorities is the first step to ensuring that both our countries can work together for the common good. Such a plan should include frank discussions about mapping out ways to effectively address immigration concerns, and work on creating business and trade opportunities for both Bahamian and Haitian entrepreneurs.

As the next government of the Bahamas, The Democratic National Alliance is committed to building the kind of relationship with the Haitian government that not only assists our brothers and sisters to the south but protects the interests and sovereignty of the Bahamas now and well into the future.
