It’s because of their “voodoo” economics.

5 Americans kidnapped in Haiti
'Down with America!' Riots Rock Haiti, Five Americans Arrested in the Melee
PORT-AU-PRINCE/WASHINGTON —
The U.S. embassy in Haiti has confirmed the arrest of U.S. citizens in Haiti Sunday and told VOA's Creole Service that it is seeking consular access for the detainees as soon as possible.
"We understand that the Haitian National Police detained a group of individuals, including some U.S. citizens," the statement said. "When U.S. citizens are arrested overseas, we seek consular access as soon as possible and provide appropriate consular assistance as provided by the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations."
The embassy statement indicated it would not comment further on the case.
In an interview Monday with VOA Creole, Haitian National Police (PNH) spokesperson Michel-Ange Louis-Jeune said the men were arrested during a "routine check" on Sunday afternoon and that among the detained were a Haitian national, two Serbs and five Americans.
"In the three vehicles the police confiscated, we found weapons, assault rifles and pistols. The police subsequently arrested them," the spokesman said. He said police are investigating to see who else may be involved.

Aside from that, a video purportedly showing the detained individuals – vigorously covering their faces – at a police station has circulated online. The newspaper also revealed the alleged identities of the suspects, naming them as Kroeker Kent Leland, Danilo Bajavic, Vlad Jankovic, Burton Talon, Christopher Osman M, Daniel Dustin and Estera Michael.
Five of them have been confirmed to be Americans. The State Department said it was aware that Haitian police arrested a “group that included US citizens.” The men are being held on conspiracy charges, but have not been formally charged yet, to CNN. Another one of the team is a Haitian citizen, while two others are of Serbian and Russian origins, according to Haitian media reports.
One of their reported identities is particularly interesting – Kroeker Kent Leland, who is Partner and Chief Operations Officer of the Kroeker Partners private security company. Kroeker is a former US Marine officer, with “a rich career in military, business enterprise and crisis management operations,” as the company‘s website modestly puts it. Several other suspects’ names also corresponded to social media profiles of “US citizens claiming military background,” Reuters reports.
