Chaos and Evacuations in Haiti Amidst Rising Violence and Government Instability
Exploring the recent turmoil in Haiti, from attacks on infrastructure to foreign evacuations, revealing the historical US-Haiti relations and the challenges in establishing a transitional government amidst escalating violence.
Violence and unrest in Haiti. Over the past week, more than 230 U.S. citizens have been evacuated from Haiti as a gang-led rebellion continues to surge through the Caribbean nation. In a briefing last Monday, March 18, U.S. State Department Spokesperson Vedant Patel called the situation “one of the most dire humanitarian situations in the world,” saying that "gang violence continues to make the security situation in Haiti untenable, and it is a region that demands our attention.” On Sunday, 30 U.S. citizens were evacuated from Haiti to Miami aboard a charter flight. Over 1,600 Americans have filled out crisis intake forms at the U.S. Embassy in Haiti.
