Haiti: Demonstrators reportedly marching to US Embassy in Port-au-Prince, July 28

Event

Protesters are reportedly marching July 28 to the US Embassy in Port-au-Prince in an event to mark both the anniversary of the 1915 US occupation of Haiti and to denounce US involvement in Haitian affairs. Demonstrators reportedly gathered at the Place de la Constitution at 10:00 and aim to march to the US Embassy located in the capital's Tabarre neighborhood. In a preventative measure, the US Embassy announced the closure of its consular section effective 11:00 July 28.

Heightened security is likely near the protest route. The event is likely to result in short-term localized ground travel disruptions. There is an elevated threat of violence at all protests in Haiti. The march is likely to pass near the capital's Touissant Louverture International Airport (PAP). Disruptions on route to and from the airport may occur.

Advice

Avoid all protests. Plan for road travel delays.
