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.

“ 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

Would rather go to Mogadishu.

One might think the commies in Cuba would want to make a workers’ paradise there, given its proximity to Cuba, but I guess it’s the language barrier or something.

You just know when Bill Clinton posed for this picture he's thinking to himself: "I bet this little black kid produces a lot of adrenochrome."

He then lends down to her and asks "Do you like pizza?

Far as I can tell, this is why.

Federal officials investigate reports of Americans kidnapped in Haiti

Sad to say, I have long thought the only real cure for Haiti is to completely depopulate it (but what countries would take these peoole?), blockade it for at least 50 years while the land and sea heal, and then let the Dominican Republic annex it. That’s never going to happen, so ... we’re stuck with Haiti being Haiti.

I was absolutely stunned when I heard some of the cruise lines had decided to port..

Laberadee. It is like a private island roped off from everybody else in Haiti except for some workers. Very beautiful.

> Biden should never be compared with Carter. Unfair to Carter.
Carter loved America.

Btt. Democrat's haven't loved America since before FDR, if they did why would they destroy it as founded by inverting Federalism ?

P.S. Carter and Biden are closer than you think.

I remember a missionary who went there in the 1970s.
When walking through a market someone stole something from a shop and ran. The Ton-Ton Macoutes were immediately on him and beat him to a pulp.

The missionaries were horrified!

Then one of the black lady merchants there said it had to be this way. Without the Ton-Tons everyone would rob the merchants blind and no one could have a business.
