Unknown gunmen on Tuesday assassinated President Jovenel Moise of Haiti at his private residence.
This was contained in a statement by the Country’s interim Prime Minister, Claude Joseph, who said that President Moise was fatally wounded by the unidentified men.
He said: “The gunmen broke into Moise’s residence at about 1 am on Wednesday.
“He was fatally wounded by the unidentified men, some of whom were speaking Spanish,” the PM added.
He further called for calm in the country, saying “police and armed forces are in control of the situation”.
Moise, 53, ruled by decree for more than two years after the country failed to hold elections and the opposition demanded his resignation in recent months.
