Related to the situation, and I have no idea, which is why I ask, are there any valuable resource deposits that Haiti is known for or recently known for? Hope not, because that will then usually mean the powers will eventually battle to control it and further destroy the country.

The Wester colonial powers and imperialism don't help. I don't disagree with that. As I mentioned I'm not well versed in the subject. The only aspect I know is what people from the DR say about Haiti.

This is what I found when I quickly looked up information relating to the relationship between the two countries. To call it tense is almost an understatement. Honestly speaking, I had no clue until I looked it up just now. Apparently the border between the two countries is being fortified and closed.
Again, I don't know enough. All I'm saying is that for individuals that emigrated from the country that shares the island, many seem kinda disappointed when it comes to the topic of Haiti.
