Jamaica has suspended consular services in Haiti, after its consulate in the nation’s capital came under attack Monday night.
The announcement was made by Jamaica Foreign Minister Kamina Johnson Smith. In a video message, she said her government is aware that the Sun Auto Car Dealership, where the Jamaican consulate is located, “was set ablaze and ransacked by criminal gangs.”
“The Consulate of Jamaica was located on the premises,” she said, “and therefore consular services in Haiti are therefore suspended indefinitely.”
