Daniel Supplice returns to Haiti after a week of talks

Daniel Supplice, special envoy of Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry to the Dominican Republic, returned to Haiti after a week of talks with high-level Dominican government officers. Supplice had served as Haitian ambassador from 2013 to 2015, under the Michel Martelly presidency. He was removed after he sided with the Dominican government regarding the challenges of documenting Haitians in the Dominican Republic at the time.

El Dia reports that Supplice held meetings from Monday, 8 November, and returned to Haiti on 14 November. He was accompanied by Stamie Joseph, of the Haitian Prime Minister office.

As reported, Supplice met with President Luis Abinader, Foreign Relations Minsiter Roberto Alvarez, Interior & Police Minister Jesus Vasquez Martinez, the president of the Senate Eduardo Estrella, and foreign diplomats in the Dominican Republic, including Vatican representative, Archbishop GhalebBader and US charge d’ affaires Robert Thomas. He also met with representatives of the United Nations, among others.

Coinciding with the return of Supplice to Haiti, a criminal gang released the three Dominican freight truck drivers that had been kidnapped and were kept in Haiti since September 2021, pending the payment of high ransoms.
