Reuters: US State Department to US Citizens in Haiti GTFO immediately

- The U.S. Embassy in Haiti on Wednesday urged citizens in the Caribbean country to leave "as soon as possible" citing security and infrastructure challenges, as escalating violence has left thousands displaced and sent homicides soaring.

"U.S. citizens in Haiti should depart Haiti as soon as possible via commercial or private transport," the embassy said in a statement, urging extreme caution.

An escalating gang turf war in Haiti has caused a devastating humanitarian crisis that has displaced around 200,000 nationwide and left some 5.2 million people - nearly half of Haiti's population – in need of humanitarian aid, according to the United Nations.

"The U.S. has backed a United Nations plan for a multinational police force in the country, led by Kenya. That force would focus on combating gang violence, mostly in Port-au-Prince."

Yeah I don't see any African Union countries rushing out right now to save Haiti but that's just me.

I remember some people pretending that Haiti was a great place when Trump called it a shithole.

Even my Haitian friend Patrick agreed it was a shithole.

Dominican Today: Dominican Republica is not going to intervene in absolutely anything that has to do with Haiti

Santo Domingo.- President Luis Abinader has made it clear that the Dominican Republic will not have any direct involvement in matters related to the occupation of neighboring country Haiti. However, he specified that the country would offer necessary assistance in terms of healthcare if any member of the international force requires it.

Did you know that those hills behind him in that picture were once verdant? The trees in Haiti have been cut down for crops, housing, but mostly for fire. Aerial imagery shows the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic on Hispaniola in stark contrast. Thick canopy tropical forest on one side and denuded hillsides on the other. Why? Another fact ignored by those journalist fellers.

Nothing to worry about. Once the Clinton foundation money flows into Haiti everything will be fine.

Journalist Dan Cohen on the ground in Haiti says the US is full of crap

"I’m in Haiti right now. The situation is calmer than it has been in years, thanks to a truce between various armed groups. The U.S. is vastly overstating the level of danger to justify its plans for military intervention ahead of a vote at the UN Security Council."
