Washington warned Americans against traveling to Haiti following the kidnapping of an American woman and her daughter.
The Washington State Department has warned Americans against traveling to Haiti following the kidnapping of an American female employee of a non-profit charity organization and her daughter in Haiti. The ministry also asked its non-essential personnel to leave due to security concerns.
According to the “Associated Press” news agency, the “El Roy Haiti” charity organization announced in a statement that “Alix Dorsinville”, an American nurse who worked for this organization, and her daughter were kidnapped last Thursday.
The organization announced in a statement that Dorsinville was kidnapped last Thursday morning along with her daughter in the area around the headquarters of this charity near the city of Port-au-Prince.
American media reported that this woman is the wife of “Sandro Dorsinville”, the director and founder of the “El Roy Haiti” charity.
The US State Department announced that it has “regular communication” with the Haitian authorities to deal with this incident. The Haitian authorities have been calling for international aid for some time to deal with the spread of armed gangs in the country.
El Roy Haiti is a Christian charity that operates a school for children and educational, vocational and health programs in Haiti.
According to this organization, Alix Dorsinville is originally from the state of New Hampshire, USA, who has been living in Haiti for a long time to run a children’s clinic belonging to this organization.
The US Department of State warned American citizens: “Kidnapping has spread in Haiti and American citizens are regularly victims of these kidnappings.” These kidnappings often lead to negotiations for a blood price and physical harm to the American citizens who are the victims.
Earlier this month, the UN Security Council held a meeting to discuss the dire crime situation in Haiti.
