Friday, November 19, 2021, as announced last October https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-35025-haiti-mexico-soon-opening-of-a-haitian-consulate-in-tapachula.html Haiti opened a consulate in the border town of Tapachula, in southern Mexico, to help manage migration, the Mexican government said, as the number of Haitians trying to cross the US-Mexico border is on the strong increase this year.

The opening of the Consulate near the Guatemalan border is part of the efforts between the Governments of Mexico and Haiti to deal with Haitian migrants on Mexican territory, the Government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said in a statement.

The increase in the number of Haitians crossing Mexico has increased considerably due in particular in Haiti to the economic crisis, the earthquake of August 14th https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-34479-haiti-flash-magnitude-72-earthquake-in-the-nippes.html , of the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-34162-haiti-flash-president-jovenel-moise-assassinated-by-mercenaries-official-updated-7am-+-video.html and the increase in insecurity (nearly 800 kidnappings since January 2021 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-35048-haiti-security-already-119-kidnapping-this-month.html
