| (Xinhua) -- The United States has suspended the operations of its embassy in Haiti because of violence in the conflict-poverty stricken Caribbean country, the State Department said on Wednesday. "We suspended embassy operations for today because of some of the violence and demonstrations that's taken place in Haiti," said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack. "We fully hope and expect that over time those demonstrations will dissipate and we will get back to a situation where we can continue normal embassy operations," he said. |
