Haitian citizens hold up passports as they gather in front of the US Embassy in Tabarre, Haiti on July 10, 2021, asking for asylum after the assassination of President Jovenel Moise explaining that there is too much insecurity in the country and that they fear for their lives. - The widow of slain Haitian leader Jovenel Moise, who was critically wounded in the attack that claimed his life, issued her first public remarks since the assault, calling on the nation not to "lose its way." According to Haitian authorities, an armed commando of 28 men -- 26 Colombians and two Haitian-Americans -- burst in and opened fire on the couple in their home.

Puerto Príncipe. Haití pidió a Estados Unidos y a la Organización de Naciones Unidas (ONU) el envío de tropas para proteger sus puertos, el aeropuerto y otros lugares estratégicos luego del asesinato del presidente Jovenel Moise.

Días después de que Moise fuera brutalmente asesinado en un ataque armado contra su residencia, “pensamos que los mercenarios (a los que se acusa del crimen) podrían destruir alguna infraestructura para crear caos en el país”, aseguró a la AFP el ministro de Elecciones, Mathías Pierre.
