US Deploys Marines to American Embassy in Haiti – Non-Essential Personnel Evacuated in the Midst of Chaos in the Capital Port-Au-Prince
If we needed a reminder of how bad things are right now in Haiti’s capital, Port-Au-Prince, we learn that the US has sent in the Marines and evacuated part of the personnel by helicopter.
The gang rebels have attacked multiple locations in Tabarre, the area where the U.S. embassy is located.
Local Businesses were looted and overtaken by the armed men that control more than 80% of the capital.
Miami Herald reported:
“The U.S. military flew in Marines to reinforce its embassy in Haiti and evacuate non-essential personnel as heavily-armed gangs continue to challenge the country’s tenuous government and turn the country’s capital, Port-Au-Prince, into a battlefield.
The middle-of-the-night operation was conducted via helicopter by the U.S.
