Haitian President Jovenel Moise was assassinated during an attack on his residence near Port-au-Prince in the early hours of July 7. His murderers falsely claimed to be U.S. DEA agents. The Journal la Diaspora posted video of the security response after the attack.
Democracy Now reports a likely reason for the murder:
Moïse, who had led Haiti since 2017, was accused of orchestrating a coup to stay in power beyond February 7, when his term officially ended. For months Haitians have staged large protests against Moïse demanding he leave office, but Moïse clung to power with support from the Biden administration, which backed his claims that his term should end next year.
