WASHINGTON – The United States Department of State authorized on Monday the voluntary evacuation of all non-emergency government employees stationed in Haiti and their families due to widespread protests in the country.
The US government’s advisory comes after protests erupted in Haiti on Friday after the government decided to hike fuel prices by 37-50 percent, a decision which has since been reversed, but which has failed to quell the protests.
“The US government authorized the voluntary departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel and their families. Right now, the US government has limited ability to provide emergency services to US citizens,” the state department said in a travel advisory.
Washington also banned embassy employees from using ATMs, public transport and leaving embassy premises between 1:00 am and 5:00 am, as well as imposing a curfew at night and prohibiting them from visiting establishments without secure parking.
“There is currently widespread civil unrest and violent demonstrations in Haiti. Protests, tire burning, and road blockages are frequent and unpredictable,” Washington said.

Vacationing in Haiti is as stupid as vacationing in Iran.
To quote “Airplane!” — “They paid their money and took their chances.”
The Clintoons didn’t fix Haiti?
Does The Bern know?
The government decided to hike fuel prices by 37-50 percent ? 99.99999% of them don’t own a vehicle
Remember the earthquake the Clinton foundation and the commercials for donations, bush and Clinton. How much money did they pocket, the place is still a sh##hole
The US needs to send a ‘phib to bring out the Americans (charge airfare to the tourists) and then offer evac services to citizens of friendly countries - there aren’t many, but there are a few.
Tell me once again how Haiti is not like an outhouse?
So the $hit hole summary judgement applies?
Thanks to the Clintons/Obama’s, Haiti has gone beyond a shit hole country to a dangerous shit hole country.
It’s a definite sh##hole, it has taken a herculean effort to get maybe a couple of nice hotels there, of course barricaded from the masses.
And the most hypocritical of all, the luxurious cruise port for people to dock at and claim they’ve been to Haiti. It’s laughable, like having a walled-off Disneyland for tourists.
“Tell me once again how Haiti is not like an outhouse?”
Most outhouses have cheap walls around their shit hole.
Haiti is not that advanced.
It’s a third world hellhole. Americans should not go there.

I don’t know what a Phib” is but I’m thinking we deploy the 101st or 75th Rangers, take charge of the airport and evacuate all Americans. Then, let the Haitians have their way with each other.
Liberal paradise. They should all visit.
I thought I’d heard some church groups were stranded over there. Wonder if they’ll get help leaving?
Haiti is where suburban American kids go on mission trips to get photos of themselves hugging black children.
“widespread civil unrest and violent demonstrations”
Haiti or almost any large American urban area.
Stay vigilant.
