A regional bloc has summoned Caribbean, North American and European leaders and envoys to an emergency summit on the crisis in Haiti as attempts by gangs to wrest control from the crisis-racked country’s prime minister fuel deepening unrest.
The Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) called the meeting on Monday in Jamaica’s capital, Kingston, as more foreign diplomats were evacuated from Haiti, including European Union staff and all non-essential US personnel.
