Following the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse, the country’s authorities asked the United States and the UN to send troops to secure strategic sites lest they be sabotaged.
Lhe sponsors of Jovenel Moïse’s murder are still running, and the Haitian government fears the worst. Friday, three days after the assassination of the president at his home by a commando of foreign mercenaries, the United States and the UN were called for help to send troops, a minimum of 500 men, and to secure the strategic installations in the capital, Port-au-Prince, in case armed bands try to take advantage of the chaos to take control of them (ports, airports, oil terminals, transport of petroleum products).
“After the assassination of the president, we thought that the mercenaries could destroy some infrastructure in order to create chaos in the country,” Mathias Pierre, minister responsible for electoral matters, said on Friday. During a conversation with the US Secretary of State and the UN, we made this request ”.
