Haiti has initiated a major overhaul of its diplomatic consulate in Suriname following concerns raised by French authorities about the possible involvement of its diplomats in the facilitation of illegal migration.
All but one of the Haitian diplomats stationed in Suriname have been recalled to Port-au-Prince, with 12 locally hired contractors being dismissed as well. Haitian Foreign Minister Dominique Dupuy, who ordered an internal investigation into the matter, informed French and U.S. officials of the decision last week, according to the Miami Herald.
