Haiti president alleges attempted coup amid dispute over term

Al Jazeera  

Haitian government authorities have said they foiled an attempt to overthrow President Jovenel Moise, who is facing mounting anger from opposition leaders and the Haitian public over when his mandate ends. Justice Minister Rockefeller Vincent said an “attempted coup d’etat” took place on Sunday, while authorities said 23 people had been arrested, including a Supreme Court judge and senior police official. Haiti’s higher judicial council said Moise’s presidential mandate expires this Sunday, saying it was “deeply concerned by the serious threats resulting from the lack of political agreement”. The Haitian Bar Federation agreed, adding in a statement shared on social media on Sunday that “the provisional Electoral Council unilaterally appointed by President Jovenel Moise has no legitimacy to organise the next elections”. “The United Nations must under no circumstances support President Jovenel Moise in his anti-democratic plans,” the groups said in a letter.
