Haiti President Moïse ‘mortally wounded’ in armed attack at his home, prime minister says

Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was “mortally wounded” and his wife shot during an armed attack in the middle of the night Wednesday at their private residence above the hills of Port-au-Prince, the country’s prime minister, Claude Joseph, said.

…

The assailants claimed to be agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, according to videos taken by people in the area of the president’s home. Moïse, 53, lives in Pelerin 5, a neighborhood just above the hills in the capital.

…

The attack happened a day after Moïse named a new prime minister, Ariel Henry, to take charge as head of the government and prepare the country for elections in the next two months for president, a new parliament and local government officials.

Ariel Henry was close to the opposition, while not not welcomed by the majority of the opposition (he also studied in France).

The day begins the night before. The cadre of hope dodge sleep and the police. Under the cover of night and the ancestors, they spray-paint the walls of Port-au-Prince to encourage communities to unite and rise up: “Aba enperyalis, Aba Jovenel!” (Down with imperialism! Down with Jovenel.) “PHTK, Bann volè.” (The PHTK – Haitian Bald Headed Party – is a bunch of thieves.) “Kote kòb PetroCaribe?” (Where is the PetroCaribe money?)

Moise ’s last day in office was Sunday 7th Feb but he still refuses to step down. A temporary president has been selected but the US State Department spokesman, Ned Price, on Friday supported Mr. Moïse’s argument that his term ends next February and added that only then “a new elected president should succeed President Moïse.”
