Monday, Ambassador of Haiti in Benin, Jean Especa, announced to its staff, that the Embassy of Haiti located in Cotonou, the only representative of Haiti on African territory, was closing after 10 years existence.

It seems that the reasons for the closure is related to the lack of interest of Benin to maintain the centuries-old ties between the two countries. In 10 years, Benin has not even opened a chancery in Port-au-Prince, contrary to the wish of the Haitian authorities.
