The U.S. Embassy in Haiti is evacuating some of its personnel from the nation's capital as rampant gang violence intensifies.
"Heightened gang violence in the neighborhood near U.S. Embassy compounds and near the airport led to the State Department's decision to arrange for the departure of additional embassy personnel," the embassy, based in Port-au-Prince, said in a statement on Sunday.

So is it an occupation by thousands of foreign troops ( who would that be?) for years with a resentful population? Or some kind of cruddy gang oligarch government that does not pull Haiti out of it’s 100s of year of failure, only looking to retire to some kind of beachfront secure compound.
I may quit now too much armchair diplomat/general thoughts.
All good questions.
Henry seems to fit in with a long line of past Haiti “leaders.”
U.S. District Judge Drew B. Tipton said Texas and 20 other states had not shown they had suffered financial harm because of the humanitarian parole program that allows up to 30,000 asylum-seekers into the U.S. each month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela combined.=,1 day ago
She wears a wig? Shows you how naive I am. She is a good representative of the Biden dysfunctional cabal.
>>How many millions will be flown in here as “refugees fleeing their war-torn country”<<
That is totally up to the American voter who still clings to an anti-American leader. Remove him from the ballot and you’ll get rid of the problem.
To France that created it.
