As demonstrations continued in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince and a northern city following a fuel price hike, the US embassy warned its citizens Saturday to stay inside.

Protesters have been demonstrating this week against a sharp rise in fuel prices ordered by the government.

Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant on Saturday announced a temporary stop to the price increases and appealed for calm. Prices for gasoline were to rise 38% while diesel prices were to go up 47% and kerosene 51%, the Haitian daily newspaper Le Nouvelliste reported.

An estimated 120 American and 100 Haitian guests are staying in a Port-au-Prince hotel where demonstrators earlier tried to set fire to the hotel and get past security, said Stacy Librandi Bourne, an emergency medical professional from HERO Client Rescue who is at the Oasis Hotel.

After the Prime Minister's announcement, the situation calmed down, she said.

US officials told tourists and missionaries to shelter in place.

"Do not attempt to travel at this time. Avoid protests and any large gathering of people. Do not attempt to drive through roadblocks," a State Department Bureau of Consular Affairs official said.

The US embassy's website says armed demonstrators are manning some of the roadblocks.

There are no reports of US citizens in Haiti being injured, the embassy said.

American Airlines, JetBlue and Spirit Airlines said Saturday they have canceled flights to Haiti.

American spokesman Curtis Blessing said the airline canceled seven flights and will re-evaluate the situation Sunday.

Spirit said it will resume service as soon as possible.

Sounds like a job for the 82nd and 101st.

Extract all Americans and nuke it from orbit or just let it burn. What a mess.

I guess the Clintons have to sell it for scrap now.

Just confiscate all the relief money the Clintons stole and just drop it out the back of a C130 right in the middle of the riots, problem permanently solved.

The 82nd visited the Dominican Republic (other side of the island) back in 1965:

And almost dropped there during the Haitian Vacation that was TF 180 and 190....

Many cite the 82nd being in the air as the reason we were "invited" in....and the reason I do not have an arrowhead on my AFEM (10th MTN not 82nd) .

We do not want to send anyone there, they are like a needy woman....they will not let us leave....we are free food to them

I was with a PSYOPS team in the north, when asked when they wanted the US to leave most asked said "never"

From what I was told by a Haitian and another in the know that the Clintons are hated and not welcomed in Haiti especially after the fiasco of promised housing built and millions of dollars disappearing. God Bless

It's a beautiful island, let's not make it uninhabitable. Find some other way to kill all those people if you must (remember you will also be killing the other half of island too). That way I can still vacation there.

Haiti is a mess, but it's not hurting us at all. Plus we need their baseball players.

Move all American Leftists there. They can solve Haiti's problems quickly, and finally have their totalitarian paradise without hurting the U.S.



.

Haitian baseball players? There’s a small number, I think you are confusing them for Dominicans (other half of the island...)

I'm OK with that - I guess my point would have been better stated as it's not worth a single American life, so evacuate the Americans and let whatever happens happen.

Not the airborne.

Not the Marines.

I want to send social justice warriors, preferably members of ANTIFA.

Yes, I really hate Haiti.

Or send the Philly bike cops.

Clintons connected to missing millions of dollars?

Haiti would be a fine bombing range. It would work for a naval bombardment range too.

Or the USMC.

Marines invaded and occupied Haiti once before, back in 1915.

We'd just need to have a quicker exit strategy... The 1915 occupation lasted 19 years, through 1934.

'been there - done that - got the t-shirt'

it was a stinky trash-heap then - nothing has changed apparently in 20+ years

shows what happens when developing nations get addicted to the aid process at the expense of developing their own self-sustaining societal processes

Say it ain't so!

Wasn't this one of the "shithole" countries Trump spoke of? Sounds about right to me.
