Haiti s newsreel: Confusion and uncertainty - Journal Haïti Progrès - Haitian #1 Newspaper

In a direct talk to the Haitian people yesterday, President Jovenel Moïse made it clear to all, including his detractors that his presidential mandate ends on February 7, 2022 and not February 7, 2021 as most of the opposition clinging to the constitutional date are wont to believe. In the two-hour conversation on both the national TV and social media, the President is embarking on a charm offensive in order not to lose the battle of public opinion, by promising the people more than he can deliver. Throughout his speech, the president went through a litany of what ails the nation, from insecurity to unemployment, the high cost of living, the social divisions and infrastructure that have threatened the nation over the past several years and his promise to address them all, if not solve them before his term comes to an end.

Less than one year later, a U.S.-backed coup ousted Aristide and installed a military dictatorship that murdered thousands of Haitians and attempted to stifle the mass energy behind the Lavalas movement. After being re-elected in 2000, Aristide was again ousted by a U.S.-backed coup in 2004. Only last year was Haiti finally relieved of the U.S. troops that had been patrolling the streets to contain the revolutionary fervor since the ousting.
