Amid surging gang violence and a state of emergency in Haiti, the U.S. military airlifted non-essential embassy staff due to escalating threats. Armed gangs orchestrated prison breaks, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who fled and seeks UN-backed security assistance. The U.S. Southern Command stated the evacuation aligns with global embassy security practices. The EU delegation in Haiti also reduced presence, and reports indicate Germany and EU embassies are evacuating staff. Haiti faces a critical security crisis, prompting international responses and concern over the safety of diplomatic personnel.
