The embassy further warned that the U.S. government could only offer "extremely limited" assistance and that remaining government personnel were prohibited from leaving the area around the embassy.

The U.S. State Department ordered all government personnel to evacuate the Caribbean nation of Haiti amid a significant rise in gang violence and domestic turmoil.

The embassy in Port-au-Prince announced a "Do Not Travel" order, citing heightened risk of kidnapping. Non-emergency government personnel were also ordered to leave the country.

"Do not travel to Haiti due to kidnapping, crime, civil unrest, and poor health care infrastructure," the warning reads. "On July 27, 2023, the Department of State ordered the departure of family members of U.S. government employees and non-emergency U.S. government employees."

"U.S. citizens in Haiti should depart Haiti as soon as possible by commercial or other privately available transportation options, in light of the current security situation and infrastructure challenges. U.S. citizens wishing to depart Port-au-Prince should monitor local news and only do so when considered safe," it continued.

The embassy further warned that the U.S. government could only offer "extremely limited" assistance and that remaining government personnel were prohibited from leaving the area around the embassy. They further may not use public transportation or taxis, visit banks or use ATMs, drive at night, or travel anywhere without authorization.

It’d be better off if the communists hadn’t taken over.

Not as repressive as Norks or Chicoms but still holds back true freedom and progress.

Isn’t that Haiti place where Biden’s Raggety-Ann press secretary came from?
Someone should ask her why her people are so uppity.

YOU got that RIGHT !

Bringing facts to daylight would enlighten the whole world on what the CLijnt9ons did to Haiti.The CLinton Foundaton made millionsoff the Haiti situation and handed out a few pennies.

THey profit from all that suffering.

TYpical Democrats.

I mean look at the mansions Obungo has in Martha’s Vinyard and in Hawaii. Where did all THAT money come from......The Mahomar Gadaffi disappearing gold reserves of Libya?

Sorry for the misunderstanding. There are posters here who write things like that in all seriousness, so ... I mistook you for one of them.

Haiti is not one of China’s belt and road targets.
I guess the Chinese figured out that Haiti is not worth it.

The cold fact of the matter is that Haiti is overpopulated by about 5 million people. Unhealthy, undereducated, unmotivated, and unsocialized.

Actually with its hovering between 40 and 60 it would be merciful to remove child making capacity and support them through old age.

I know that would be frowned upon but the level of unfixable pain now is significant.

A union problem.?? Maybe the gangs are demanding the democrats give them a bigger cut of the drug money... Inflation being what it is and all.. (?)

Especially clear when you view them from the air. Haiti is the poster child for $#*+hole countries.
