Heated clashes between the police and residents took place. The inhabitants were demanding better services, lower taxes on merchandise, supply of electricity to the homes of Caracol by Caracol Electrification Project and the resignation of President Martelly. In the early hour of the day, some hooded individuals closed the gate on the Haitian border side and started throwing stones and bottles towards the Dominican side. Although, the door was reopened later, but very few buyers and sellers ventured to take risks. The traders from both sides of the border were affected. The big buyers and sellers could not cross the border due to road blocks at the junction of Fort-Liberté and Marfetí.
Ouanaminthe, Haiti
For a town of only about a hundred thousand inhabitants, the North-East Department city of Ouanaminthe is certainly not behind in schooling.

Once a certain level of education has been reached, older students will matriculate to schools outside of Ouanaminthe in order to continue their studies. Still, the small city is home to secondary schools and a university of its own.
