According to the EDA, existing state structures in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere cannot guarantee security. The development of the situation is “very uncertain”.
The number of criminal kidnappings and other violent crimes is very high throughout the country and especially in the capital Port-au-Prince. Support from the police cannot be counted on. The danger exists for both locals and foreigners.
The FDFA has advised against traveling to Haiti in the past. Switzerland has no diplomatic missions in Haiti, but it does have diplomatic missions in the neighboring Dominican Republic.
The Caribbean state of Haiti is descending into chaos: since last week, a coalition of several ruthless gangs has been attacking strategically important infrastructure, such as the airports, the police academy and prisons. According to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, more than 4,500 prisoners, including known gang members, escaped from the latter in the aftermath of the attacks.
According to a United Nations estimate, the gangs now control about 80 percent of Port-au-Prince. According to a report in the newspaper Le Nouvelliste, the leader of the gang coalition founded at the end of February, ex-police officer Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier, recently warned of a civil war if interim Prime Minister Ariel Henry did not resign and the international community continued to support him.
