Jovenel Moise

Jovenel Moise was the President of Haiti who was assassinated on July 7, 2021. His death is a significant event in Haitian history, contributing to the country's ongoing political instability. He is newsworthy because jury selection is beginning in South Florida for five individuals charged in connection with his assassination. The articles highlight the aftermath of his death, including the formation and actions of Haiti's Transitional Presidential Council (TPC), and the appointment of US-backed Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime. The TPC's attempts to remove Fils-Aime, despite warnings from the US, underscore the continued political turmoil and foreign influence in Haiti following Moise's assassination. The legal proceedings in Florida and the political maneuvering in Haiti demonstrate the lasting impact of Moise's death on both Haitian and international affairs.
