The Kidnapping of Alix Dorsainvil and Her Child
U.S. federal officials confirmed their awareness of the kidnapping of Alix Dorsainvil and her child and said they are in contact with Haitian authorities. The U.S. Department of State highlighted the safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas as its top priority.
The agency has maintained a Level 4 risk assessment for Haiti, advising Americans not to travel to the country due to widespread kidnappings, where victims often include U.S. citizens. Kidnapping cases in Haiti often involve ransom negotiations, leading to physical harm to the victims.
As the situation unfolds, El Roi Haiti will provide updates on its website. The State Department urges caution and vigilance for those in or considering travel to Haiti, and it continues to monitor the security situation in the country.
