PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Hundreds of Haitians have marched through the capital, Port-au-Prince, in protest at the reported abduction of an American nurse and her daughter. Alix Dorsainvil was working for El Roi Haiti, a nonprofit Christian ministry, when she and her daughter were seized by gunmen on Thursday, the organization said. El Roi Haiti, which runs a school and ministry in Port-au-Prince, said the two were taken from its campus. Witnesses said armed men burst into the clinic where she was working and seized her. Dorsainvil disappeared on the same day that the U.S. State Department issued a “do not travel advisory” in the country and ordered nonemergency personnel to leave Haiti amid growing security concerns.
