Nassau, Bahamas - Due to continuing unrest in Haiti, the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to advise members of the public that
the Embassy of The Bahamas in Port au Prince will be closed until
further notice. This action was taken after consultation with the
Ambassador of The Bahamas to Haiti and security personnel in Haiti.
Security
Directives have been issued by the United Nations (UN) Mission in Haiti
- MINUJUSTH, implementing a curfew from 2200 hours to 0500 hours
until further notice. It is the policy of The Bahamas in situations such
as this to act in conjunction with the Diplomatic Community, and the UN
if present in the jurisdiction.
Additionally, Bahamasair has
suspended its flights into Haiti until further notice. The general
public is advised to consult Bahamasair as to when flights are likely to
resume.
All staff of The Bahamas Embassy are safe. The
Ministry continues to monitor the situation and will provide updates on
new developments as they arise.
