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.

Earlier this month, armed gangs orchestrated jailbreaks from Haiti's two largest prisons and demanded the resignation of the Caribbean nation's prime minister, Ariel Henry. The Haitian leader is not currently in the country, and is petitioning the international community for a United Nations-backed security force to step in.

Is Haiti being a disfunctional state still France's fault? Or are things evident enough the problem can be discussed reasonably?

Haiti is an island. This could make for a great social experiment. Let them fight.

Recolonization is the only solution for Haiti. They have proven they are incapable of governing themselves

I know it’s not protocol and frowned upon but when it gets to that point, bring in groups like black water.

Let them take a few days and knock down quite a few violent folks and it will chill out for a while.

The reason why it’s gotten so bad is because there is nothing that is able to stand against the groups causing the problems

That has to be one of the worst job locations ever.
I don’t think anybody really visits there, so maybe it super chill? Until now anyway .

Sounds like Mexico but on an island.

Glad we sent those billions there for the Clinton foundation to manage. Seems like they did a great job. I’m so sick of lighting my tax money on fire.

Wait, all of that Clinton Foundation money after the earthquake didn’t solve all of Haiti’s problems?

Remember when Trump was criticized for calling Haiti a s-hole country? Guess he was right.

The country is being taken over by a gang. I would bet everyone who can is getting out.

Why would we have ANY ESSENTIAL people there?

Zero reason to have people there. Let the Clinton foundation fix it, they have billions.

Biden's solution will be to bring in more Haitian "refugees".

Even the Haitians ain’t scared of clueless Joe? Joe will send a couple billion to help them remember it. Our country is laughed at with Beatty eye kid sniffing guy that is our president. SMH

Dude should've followed El Salvadors lead on the gang round ups. They went from 18 homicides a day to only 18 for the entire year so far.
