Were Haiti’s Capitalists Behind the Assassination of President Moïse?
(09.07.2021)
Haitian president Jovenel Moïse was assassinated this week by alleged mercenaries. In an interview with Jacobin, the English language editor of Haiti Liberté says he suspects that some of Haiti’s richest families hired the attackers to preempt a potential revolution — and possibly even trigger US military intervention.
Stecken Haitis Kapitalisten hinter der Ermordung von Präsident Jovenel Moïse?
„Reginald Boulos ist einer der reichsten Männer Haitis und derjenige, der am meisten mit Moïse verfeindet ist. Ich glaube, er ist aus dem Land geflohen. Gegen ihn lag ein Haftbefehl vor, was ihn auch motiviert haben könnte, eine Söldnereinheit zu unterstützen, um Moïse zu töten. Vielleicht war jedoch mehr Geld nötig, als eine Familie allein aufbringen konnte. Es könnten mehrere Familien beteiligt gewesen sein. So wie es bei früheren Putschen passiert ist, wie etwa dem gegen den ehemaligen Präsidenten Jean-Bertrand Aristide ‒ damals wurde in der Bourgeoisie eine Sammlung gemacht, und sie bekamen Zehntausende Dollar zusammen, um den Putsch 1991 zu unterstützen.“
Haiti-Affäre: Hat Rekrutierer von Söldnern Verbindungen zu Iván Duque und Juan Guaidó?
Duque und Intriago kannten sich offenbar von früher. Laut La Nueva Prensa trafen sie sich am 10. Februar 2018 bei einer Veranstaltung der Präsidentschaftswahlkampagne von Duque in Miami. Der Pressesprecher von Duque, Hassan Amín Abdul Nassar, gab das Treffen zu. Es sei aber eine bedeutungslose Begegnung gewesen, von der es keine fotographische Aufzeichnung gebe.
Several tied to Haiti assassination plot were previously US law enforcement informants
Haitian President Jovenel Moise was killed last Wednesday in an operation that Haitian authorities say involved at least 28 people, many of them Colombian mercenaries hired through a Florida-based security company.
At least one of the men arrested in connection to the assassination by Haitian authorities previously worked as an informant for the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the DEA said in a statement in response to CNN.
Mystery surrounds suspected mastermind of Haiti presidential assassination plot
Sanon, who reportedly has lived on-and-off in Florida for about two decades, landed in Haiti on a private plane in early June with “political objectives,” Haiti’s police chief, Léon Charles, told reporters Sunday.

The national police chief indicated that he believes a Florida-based doctor, Christian Emmanuel Sanon, was plotting to assume the presidency. The U.S. dispatched a team to assist in the investigation.
Hands Off Haiti!
Nonetheless, the American political and media establishments seem to blithely assume that Haiti’s internal affairs are very much America’s business. State Department spokesman Ned Price says “It is still the view of the United States that elections this year should proceed.” An “electoral timetable” proposed by Moïse was “backed by the Biden administration, though it rejected plans to hold a constitutional referendum.”
