Is Martelly handling the Haiti-Dominican Crisis very well? It is, indeed, a crisis of international proportion

While I am not at all an expert in international affairs, nor do I follow closely President Martelli's handling of the Haitian Dominican denationalization affair, I can't conceive of what he would have yielding, if he were to take sole ownership of that humongous international crisis upon his shoulders.

It is, indeed, a crisis of international proportion and I believe it's best that he creates a framework within the realm of the international community to apply pressure on the Dominican Republic to reconsider their position on the issue.

After all, it was the highest court of that land that upheld an old law from the book, notwithstanding how barbaric we deem it to be to deport all Dominican children of Haitian descent.

Certainly the United States has a vital role to play in that and I'm hopeful that they've already begun playing that role behind the scene.

In the meantime, Haiti should continue maintaining the same level of business with its neighbor nation, through trade, humanitarian efforts, etc, while working assiduously with the United Nations, along with powerful member nations to get the job done on our behalf.
