HAITIAN PRESIDENT MOÏSE ASSASSINATED

  • 07/07/2021

Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated by a gang of unidentified armed individuals who stormed his private residence, the country’s interim prime minister Claude Joseph said in a statement. Moïse’s wife, First Lady Martine Moïse, was hospitalised following the overnight attack. 

The assassination of the president comes at a time when the country’s political and economic stability is deteriorating, and gang violence is on the rise.

In the recent past, the President faced fierce resistance from large segments of the public who believed his mandate was illegal, and he went through seven prime ministers in four years.
