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.

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.

This is just sound advice no matter the circumstances

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

Biden is the master at foreign policy!

Weird. Haiti actually originally implemented a Constitution that mirrored America's.
I am always told Anerica is just an "idea" and who the people are inside the borders are irrelevant as long as we have our Constitution and Liberty.
Weird how that "idea" was not strong enough to keep Haiti in tact, who has undergone roughly 50 new governments since.
Must have just been bad luck on their end.

They were being screen for tuberculosis. A disease almost unheard of in the USA, but common in very 3rd world countries. Clinton was POTUS and was about to grant them exile to the USA.

Here's the thing that struck me the most. The CMC handed us several large plastic basins to put under the counter we were behind. Confused, I asked what these were for. Master Chief quickly responded, "To throw under them if they start urinating or defecating! Most of them have never seen a toilet!". This was in the hospital lobby. A few months later, all the non-essential personnel and all family members were sent back to CONUS. The golf course was converted into a tent city to house about 25K Haitians, and apparently it was common for Little Johnny to look out his window, and see a woman walking and suddenly a man mounting her from the rear.
Weird that the island of Hispaniola is divided right down the middle, with the Dominican Republic on one side, and Haiti on the other. Yet, polar opposites of each other as far as culture, violence, progress, and education.
That was my young self's first experience with just how different our world is.

Haiti is, dare I say, a shithole country that is quite literally cursed. Americans have no business being there in the first place.

Who would be stupid enough to be there to begin with?

Sounds like a good reason to bring more Haitians to USA.

Real life experiment with putting a population with the average iq of 75 on a small island. Utter disaster.
