On 26 January 2023, after the security assessment presented less stable within Haiti, ongoing protests by the Haitian National Police against their authorities continued. The Prime Minister, the Hon. Philip E. B. Davis KC MP ordered an immediate involuntary departure from Haiti of all Diplomatic personnel out of caution.

The measure is temporary in light of recent developments which require a corporate security and intelligence assessment and restaging.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will hold a press conference for the six Diplomatic Officers Tuesday, 31 January 2023.
