RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Haiti’s chronic hardship and hunger have always been linked to a long string of corrupt, autocratic and brutal politicians who have compounded the country’s instability. The current president, Jovenel Moïse, has now joined the list.
He is involved in a dispute over when he should leave office, and to remain in power he is resorting to criminal gangs that attack opponents while profiting from the kidnapping of people.

After taking office four years ago, Moïse’s term was marked by a deterioration of democratic institutions and extreme violence that turned the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, into a city of fear and despair.
