Thursday, December 16, 2021 a delegation of American officials led by James Brewster, former United States Ambassador to the Dominican Republic left Santo Domingo and went to Port-au-Prince to meet Prime Minister Ariel Henry a little before the release of the 12 American missionaries by the "400 mawozo" gang https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-35497-haiti-flash-the-gang-400-mawozo-released-all-the-american-hostages.html

The meeting was intended to discuss the release of American hostages behind closed doors. It is not yet clear what has been said.

Note that the US Under Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Brian A. Nichols, asked the same day on the release of the last 12 American hostages kidnapped last October in Haiti https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-35012-haiti-flash-at-least-fifteen-american-missionaries-kidnapped-in-port-au-prince.html , refused to give details "I cannot comment on a ransom beyond saying, that the United States Government does not pay ransom for hostages."

Recall that the gang "400 mawozo" demanded $1 million in ransom by hostage https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-35037-haiti-flash-the-gang-400-mawozo-demands-one-million-dollars-for-the-release-of-each-american-hostage.html and the release of an important member of the Gang who is currently incarcerated at the National Penitentiary https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-35417-haiti-flash-3-new-american-hostages-released.html

Until now, the conditions for the release of the 16 American hostages and the Canadian hostage are still unknown.
