Summary
The U.S. Embassy in Haiti has issued a security warning due to an increase in kidnappings for ransom in Port-au-Prince, particularly in the Delmas area. Kidnappers are posing as police officers to carry out abductions. The embassy has urged Americans to limit travel, avoid driving alone, and inform someone of their movements and expected return times. Haiti remains under a Level 4 – Do Not Travel advisory, the State Department’s highest warning level. The warning comes weeks after heavy gunfire was reported near the U.S. Embassy.

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The U.S. Embassy issues a security warning, and Americans are advised to limit travel and avoid driving alone. Kidnappers pose as police officers, and the Delmas area is particularly affected. The embassy’s warning is not new, as Haiti has been under a Level 4 – Do Not Travel advisory for some time. The situation is familiar, and the embassy’s response is routine. The kidnappings continue, and the warnings repeat.
