"President Jovenel had a vision," Moïse <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/30/world/americas/haiti-assassination-martine-moise-interview.html">told The New York Times</a> in a report published Friday, adding, "and we Haitians are not going to let that die."A band of armed gunmen stormed into the couple's private residence in <keyword id="57389" type="COUNTRY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Haiti">Haiti</keyword> on July 7 and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/haiti-assassination-president-jovenel-mose-shot-12-times-2021-7">assassinated the president</a>, critically wounding his wife. "I would like people who did this to be caught, otherwise they will kill every single president who takes power," the first lady told the Times in her first interview since her husband's brutal murder. "They did it once. They will do it again," she said.Haitian authorities have arrested <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/20/world/americas/haiti-assassination-police-arrested.html">over two dozen people</a> in connection to the <keyword id="53597" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Assassination">assassination</keyword> - <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-citizens-haitian-president-jovenel-moise-assassination-translators-judge-says-2021-7">including two US citizens.</a> They've pointed to a Florida-based pastor, Christian Emmanuel Sanon, as a key conspirator in the killing. But there are <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/haiti-assassination-christian-sanon-framed-friends-family-say-2021-7">many open questions</a> about the assassination, and few answers. Moïse's assassination by a hit squad of foreign mercenaries in early July pushed an already struggling country into further chaos. Haiti was facing ongoing political turmoil, on top of rampant gang violence and poverty, when he was killed. Shortly before the assassination, the United Nations Security Council in a <a href="https://www.un.org/press/en/2021/sc14571.doc.htm">statement</a> expressed "deep concern regarding deteriorating political, security, and humanitarian conditions in Haiti."He came to power in 2017 after a prolonged and rocky election cycle. Prior to his killing, there was a contentious consistutional dispute over the length of his presidential term.Moïse's opponents claimed that he stayed in power past his term limit, but he refused to step down. This prompted protests against his rule. Compounding the matter was the fact Moïse had been ruling by decree since January 2020 after dissolving parliament and failing to hold legislative elections.Back in February, Haitian officials arrested nearly two dozen people in what was described as an attempted coup. At the time, Moïse said, "The goal of these people was to make an attempt on my life."Haiti continues to be gripped by political uncertainty and unrest. A new prime minister, Ariel Henry, was sworn-in last Tuesday after a <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/07/20/1018280279/ariel-henry-swearing-in-haiti-new-prime-minister">brief power struggle</a> between him and Interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph. At Moïse's funeral last week, protestors clashed with police and gunfire prompted President Joe Biden's ambassador to the UN to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-un-ambassador-leaves-haitian-president-funeral-after-gunfire-2021-7">leave early</a>. The Biden administration has offerred assistance to Haiti as it investigates Moïse's assassination, but rebuffed a request for the US to send in troops to help quell the unrest. US ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield last week said Haiti took a "positive step" forming a new government under Henry, but underscored that a key task facing Haitian leaders "will be to create the conditions for free and fair legislative and presidential elections as soon as feasible."<iframe src="https://cdn.jwplayer.com/players/rHcOdrjL-gFnR6QwM.html" width="100%" height="100%" style="position:absolute;"></iframe>

The election is due to take place in September.Critics of Moïse said he was clinging on to power and argued that his term should have ended in February, AFP reported."He is doing everything, utilizing all kinds of maneuvers, to hold onto power and to ensure that he remains the only person governing in the country," Gédéon Jean, a lawyer and human-rights activist in Port-au-Prince, told <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/haiti/article248344290.html">the Miami Herald</a> in January.In addition to the election, the people of Haiti were also due to vote in a referendum in September concerning changes to the constitution that would give the executive leadership more power.The move to change the 1987 constitution was supported by Moïse but was extremely unpopular and had been postponed twice because of the COVID-19 pandemic.In his statement, Joseph described the attack as "odious, inhumane, and barbarous." He also told The Times that the president had been "cowardly assassinated" but that the perpetrators "cannot assassinate his ideas."Joseph plans to address the country later Wednesday, The Times said.
