“I don’t understand how nobody was shot,”- Haitian President’s widow

Martine Moïse, the first lady of Haiti, has for the first time spoken in-depth about the assassination attempt on her late husband, Jovenel Moïse.

The Widow recounts assassination attempts, questions how 30-50 bodyguards weren’t shot/killed

In an interview with the New York Times in Florida, where she is recuperating, the first lady of Haiti said with her elbow shattered by gunfire and her mouth full of blood, she laid on the floor beside her bed, unable to breathe, as the assassins stormed the room.

“The only thing that I saw before they killed him was their boots,” Martine Moïse said of the moment her husband, President Jovenel Moïse of Haiti, was shot dead beside her. “Then I closed my eyes, and I didn’t see anything else.”

“I don’t understand how nobody was shot,”

The killing of President Jovenel Moïse by assassins on July 7 rocked Haiti. During the attack, he was shot multiple times while his wife was also shot but survived the assassination attempt even though she might not be able to use her right arm again.

However, A 63-year-old doctor identified as Christian Emmanuel Sanon with ties to Florida has been arrested. He is described as someone who played a central role in the death of the president

Two Americans are among at least 20 people who have been detained thus far. The suspects include retired Colombian commandos, a former judge, a security equipment salesman, a mortgage and insurance broker in Florida, and two commanders of the president’s security team.

Several of the people under investigation met in the months prior to the killing to discuss rebuilding the country once the president was out of power, Haitian police have revealed. Yet Moise’s late wife is not satisfied with the investigation so far and feels none of the arrested people has the financial capability to mastermind and fund such a gigantic assassination operation.
