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.

Yeah, Hillary’s legacy indeed. She has solutions for everyone. Wonder if she’ll go in with Bill and run for President.

Ironically, Haiti is the picture of lack of diversity.

I can’t think of any good reason to visit Haiti.

Although I’m sure the beach resorts are nice, that may well be about it. Port-au-Prince is probably a complete crime-ridden dump.

You know things have gotten bad there when even the State Dept is restricting the movement of its employees.

In Haiti, the public latrines are considered the beach resorts.

I was absolutely stunned when I heard some of the cruise lines had decided to port there.....I get the humanitarian idea of making an effort to inject some life into the local economy but who in their right mind is gonna get off the boat and wade into THAT cesspool?

I got off a ship and went into Nassau Bahamas once in the 80s.....that won’t be happening again.
