US Embassy in Haiti Evacuates Non-Essential Personnel As Violence Continues | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A marine anti-terrorism unit has been deployed to protect the US Embassy in Haiti. Non-essential personnel left the embassy on Sunday. To ensure their safety the diplomats had to be evacuated by helicopter and at night. This comes amid growing violence as gangs essentially now rule the country. They also have forced the prime minister to say he will step down once a new government is in place. Senior Fellow at the National Security Institute and an expert on Haiti, Lester Munson, joins to give us a snapshot of the situation right now in Haiti. Munson shares what the response from the US is, what the Biden Administration is doing and what he would like to see them do. Munson tells us whether the trouble in Haiti could impact the US and other countries. Now that the prime minister has said he will step down, Munson discusses what could come next governance-wise in Haiti. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
