The U.S. Embassy in Haiti has issued an advisory urging American citizens to leave the country promptly due to the ongoing unrest and political turmoil. Gang violence has surged in Haiti following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021, leading to control of significant parts of the capital falling to armed gangs. Despite calls for an armed multinational force to address the crisis, responses have been limited. The embassy advised that flight availability was limited and urged citizens to secure seats well in advance.
