Haitian experience

Every day Cubans are arriving in Guyana to engage in shopping. Asians have been coming for years setting up businesses all around the country. Brazilians are also here managing businesses. But Haitians? Haitians who are part of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) travelling through Guyana with French Guiana as their destination encountered problems recently which led to detention and separation of children from their parents.

According to reports, it is not the first time Haitians were travelling through Guyana in recent times. And according to reports there have been suspicions of human trafficking which is in no way to be condoned. But sources closely associated with the case said that there were no signs of human trafficking.
