Haiti crisis deepens after prime minister sacks prosecutor

Al Jazeera  

Removal came hours after chief prosecutor named Prime Minister Ariel Henry as a suspect in the assassination of the country’s president. Haiti’s political crisis has worsened after Prime Minister Ariel Henry on Tuesday sacked the chief public prosecutor who had accused him of links to the assassination of President Jovenel Moise on July 7. Henry, a political moderate and neurosurgeon whom Moise named prime minister just days before his death in an attempt to reduce political tensions, has pledged to improve the country’s dire security situation and to organise long-delayed elections. “Those who are truly guilty, the masterminds of the odious assassination of President Jovenel Moise and those who ordered it, will be found, brought to justice and punished for their actions.” On the same day, the prime minister announced that Haiti’s main political forces had reached an agreement to establish a transitional government until the holding of presidential elections and a referendum on whether to adopt a new constitution next year.
