The usually chaotic streets of Haiti's capital of Port-Au-Prince were quiet and largely empty Monday as thousands of workers angry about the nation's lack of security went on strike in protest two days after 17 members of a U.S.-based missionary group were abducted by a violent gang. American officials including the FBI were working with Haitian authorities to try to secure the release of the 12 adults and five children connected with the Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministries who disappeared Saturday while on a trip to visit an orphanage. It was the largest reported kidnapping of its kind in recent years. Haitian gangs have grown more brazen amid ongoing political instability, a deepening economic crisis and a spike in violence that is driving more people to flee the country. 📸: @josephodelyn_photo, @apnews #haiti #portauprince
