Situated in Port-au-Prince's Tabarre area, the embassy took a significant step last Tuesday by announcing stringent restrictions and a state of confinement for its personnel.

Some say the US Embassy is closed indefinitely but here is exactly what was posted on the embassy's website Tuesday:

"The Embassy is closed today. All personnel are restricted to Embassy compounds until further notice due to gunfire in the vicinity of the Embassy. Travel between the compounds is prohibited. Some routes to the Embassy may be impacted due to continued rapid gunfire"

The sequence of events leading to the embassy's closure was initiated by a large-scale demonstration that took place in Port-au-Prince on the aforementioned Monday.
