Gasoline smuggling tests Haiti embargo at border
Smugglers ship hundreds of gallons of gas and diesel from the Dominican Republic into Haiti eight hours after a tougher U.N. embargo took effect. Haitian soldiers and border guards overlook cross-border fuel flows as ports in Port au Prince resume unloading ships. The embargo, aimed at restoring a democratically elected government ousted in 1991, faces ongoing violations as prices sharply rise from $1.60 to about $8 per gallon in Port au Prince. Dominican and Haitian forces are accused of sharing profits, while U.S. and U.N. officials weigh potential military options if enforcement fails.
