Haiti’s president Jovenel Mo\u00efse was assassinated last night in his private residence, according to Claude Joseph, the country’s acting prime minister. The first lady was wounded in the attack by a bullet. Her condition has not been released, except that she is receiving care in another country.<\/p>\n
“This was a highly coordinated attack by a highly trained and heavily armed group,” he recounted in a statement, according to a CNN translation.<\/p>\n

By ROSS IBBETSON<\/strong><\/p>\n A group of ‘foreigners’, some of whom spoke English and Spanish, broke into Mr Moise’s home in the hills above Port-au-Prince at around 1am on Wednesday, according to a statement by country’s prime minister.<\/p>\n The 53-year-old was shot dead and the First Lady Martine, 47, was left fighting for her life after what PM Claude Joseph called a ‘hateful, inhumane and barbaric act’.<\/p>\n Haiti’s embassy in the Dominican Republic said the First Lady has since been flown to another country for treatment.<\/p>\n In footage purportedly recorded by a witness, someone with an American accent shouts into a megaphone: ‘DEA operation. Everybody stand down. DEA operation. Everybody back up, stand down.’<\/p>\n Mr Moise had been accused of turning Haiti into a dictatorship, refusing to relinquish the presidency after his term ended, using armed gangsters to spread fear among the populace and of trying to change the constitution to consolidate power – including installing an intelligence agency that answered directly to him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n He also was about to replace Acting Prime Minister Claude Joseph, too. Isn’t that interesting.<\/p>\n Thanks, OAM.<\/p>\n Daily Mail<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
