Jovenel Moise, the president of Haiti, was killed at his home.

Haitian President Jovenel Moise was assassinated at his home last night by unknown assailants, according to Prime Minister Dr. Claude Joseph. Interim Prime Minister Dr. Claude Joseph said in a statement that First Lady Martine Mose had also been injured and was being hospitalized. Interim Prime Minister Joseph condemned the "hateful, brutal, and savage conduct," saying that the situation in Haiti was under control thanks to the National Police and other authorities.

The killing occurred late Tuesday, amid rising political and economic stability and an uptick in gang violence. Under Mose's administration, the country of more than 11 million people had become increasingly unstable and dissatisfied. Its economic, political, and social problems have worsened, with gang violence escalating in the capital, Port-au-Prince, inflation skyrocketing, and food and fuel becoming scarce at times in a country where 60% of the population lives on less than $2 per day. These problems arise as Haiti continues to recover from the tragic earthquake of 2010 and Hurricane Matthew in 2016.

Mose, 53, had been reigning by decree for more than two years after the country's Parliament was dissolved due to a lack of elections. Opposition leaders accuse him of attempting to expand his power by signing decrees that limit the powers of a court that audits government contracts and another that establishes an intelligence agency that reports only to the president.

Opposition leaders have requested that he resign in recent months, claiming that his mandate constitutionally expired in February 2021. Mose and his supporters claimed that his term began when he assumed office in early 2017, after a tumultuous election that prompted the appointment of a provisional president to fill the void for a year.

General elections were set to take place in Haiti later this year.
