Four Years After My Husband's Assassination, the Assessment Is Grim

Instead of facing justice like other defendants do, former First Lady Martine Moïse has chosen to side with accusers rather than cooperate.

Invited to the Court of Appeal to answer questions regarding the case related to the assassination of her husband, former President Jovenel Moïse, Martine avoids the procedures leading to a conclusion in this matter.

Four years after the assassination of the former head of state, she denounces the behavior of Jovenel Moïse's former opponents who had promised the Haitian people a radical transition, a « koupe fache » (clean break), to break with old practices. However, the situation, according to Martine Moïse, has become much more complex.

All projects initiated by Jovenel Moïse are stalled, and the « koupe fache » transition advocated by his opponents has transformed into a « koupe rache » (torn apart) transition, as she highlights in a post on her X account.

She also expresses her criticism of the alarming climate of insecurity and the unprecedented humanitarian crisis the country is experiencing, four years later. Martine Moïse specifies, in her message, that the politicians who fiercely opposed her husband deployed all their efforts to destabilize the former head of state, leading up to his assassination.

The assessment is grim, emphasizes the former First Lady of the Republic once again.
