Crisis meeting organized in Jamaica after the evacuation of diplomats from Haiti. Washington announced on Sunday that it had evacuated non-essential staff from its embassy in Port-au-Prince.

The situation in Haiti is the subject of a crisis meeting on Monday March 11 in Jamaica. The authorities declared a state of emergency in the West department, which includes the capital, and established a nighttime curfew. The UN Security Council agreed months ago to send a Kenyan-led international mission to help the Haitian police, but its deployment is sorely overdue.
