Haiti’s President Jovenel Moise was shot and killed last night at around 1 a.m. local time. First Lady Martine Moise was also wounded in the attack on their home in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince. Unidentified gunmen burst into their home, stating they were members of the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and opened fire.
The DEA website gave Haiti a Level 4 DO NOT TRAVEL restriction on June 16 due to dangers, including kidnappings, crime, COVID, and civil unrest.
Moise’s presidency has been marred by accusations of corruption and waves of protests, often violent. Moise was expected to step down on February 7 at the end of his five-year term. He was elected February 7, 2016, and refused to leave office, stating that his five-year term began the day he took office, February 7, 2017, and thus his term should end February 7, 2022. The one-year delay was due to allegations of election fraud. His opponents disagreed and wanted him to step down in February 2021.
Haiti’s interim prime minister, Claude Joseph, has taken control of the impoverished nation and is urging calm after what he called a “heinous, inhumane and barbaric attack.”
Joseph also said that “all measures had been taken to guarantee the continuity of the state.”
President Moise claimed a coup had been thwarted on February 7, the day he was expected to step down. Twenty-three people were arrested, including a prominent judge and a high-ranking police officer. Cash, machine guns, and machetes were confiscated in the attempted coup.
Widespread protests and riots took place in Port-au-Prince and nearby cities and towns. “We cannot accept that Jovenel Moise violates the constitution of the country,” claimed a protester, Etienne Jean-Daniel. “We demand that the constitution be respected.”

Haiti has got it more together than the USA.
“In addition to pressure from opposition leaders to step down, Moïse faced mounting demands from Haitian business leaders to consider establishing relations with China. Haiti is one of the few remaining nations in the world to recognize Taiwan’s sovereignty and maintain close ties to that country. Under the Communist Party’s “One China” policy, Beijing does not maintain any diplomatic relations with countries that recognize Taiwan. In an interview with Taiwan News published Wednesday, Haiti’s ambassador to Taiwan asserted that Moïse valued the bilateral relationship and had no intention of accepting lucrative Chinese loan offers to abandon Haiti’s relationship with Taiwan.”
Arkancide?
Arkancided.
He was likely taken down by elements of the government’s security apparatus. Military, police, etc. It is a recurrent theme in Haitian politics.

I’m sorry but I wondered why this was even considered newsworthy. Aren’t thugs and president thugs killed and replaced in places like this every few years? Or did I miss something and Haiti is as stable as Denmark and Sweden?
I think the dictionary definition of corruption is “Haiti”.
That confirms it, it was a CIA op designed so Biden can blame Trump.
DEA = dude expect Arkancide
It’s newsworthy because this particular Haitian president was *resisting* increasing Chinese influence. His replacement will probably make Haiti a Chinese client state.
If you thought the Cuban Missile Crisis was fun, you’re going to love the Haitian version.
Haiti…..
Clintons…..Chinese…..Haitians…..
Not much good there.
As a matter of fact, Jovenel Moise was considered Conservative/Libertarian. He was Haitian businessman and did quite a lot of business development in Haiti.
I guess a big loss to Haiti.
Guess he was in the way of cartels turning Haiti into a drug capital. R.I.P.

—”this particular Haitian president was *resisting* increasing Chinese influence.”
And they say some of the assassins were speaking Spanish.
Cuban Spanish?
By chance do you drive a Spyker?
