Haiti maintains diplomatic relations with Taiwan and not with the CCP of mainland China in Beijing.
“As for whether the suspects were involved in the assassination of the President of Haiti, that will need to be investigated by the Haitian police,” Foreign Affairs spokesperson Joanne Ou told the press in Taipei.
A country in chaos
Interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph is now asking people to reopen businesses and go back to work. He also ordered the International Airport to resume operations.
Haiti has long suffered from terrible poverty, violence, and political instability. In recent years the influence of gangs has contributed to the upheaval. Last month it is estimated that 14,700 were displaced when their homes were burned and ransacked in an ongoing turf war by gangs.
The gangs are a force to be reckoned with. And since the presidents’ assassination, nobody knows if the Haitian security forces can hold them off.
The Moïse presidency has only heightened the problems. He had been ruling “by decree”. And there have been violent protests and calls for him to resign.
