in the america. last time we need to believe that we needed the political stability is the 1st public resource in no country on earth. is it possible to talk about development unless there is political stability unless there is social peace? but his years in office were challenging and he faced allegations of money laundering and corruption, movies became president of haiti and 2017 after being chosen by the former leader michelle martelli to become his successor of the center. right patient had kill a party. 2015 election was the 1st to declare him winter. but the boat was overturned after allegations of fraud and violence street protests. the re run was den delayed by hurricane matthew, which caused widespread destruction in the south. but when it was finally held in 2018, it sport disagreements about when marie says term would end after legislative elections were delayed. that year marie stayed on to rule by decree. without a parliament. he tried to reassure haitians,

even as things deteriorated around him. views by marcia development need, the more violence does not work with developments and democracy. we have to cut bridges with these old practices that are putting the country behind. despite his calls for calm, the protests against him and his government got worse. he was accused of inaction. in the face of increasing violence, a surgeon kidnappings for ransom, and the growth of armed gangs. in march, he declared some forms of protests as acts of terrorism. before his assassination luis announced a new prime minister to tackle criminal violence. would have been his 7th and 4 years now, long after a group of individuals broke into his home in the capital, puerto prince and shot him dead. janelle maurice was 53 years old and to gather her is following developments for miami. well, this is now potentially a very fragile and dangerous situation,

the assassination of president job. now my, we says, got international leaders around the world, calling for com. but there is a good chance that things could get very dangerous and very violent very quickly. and haiti, of course, has a long history and a pretty young democracy that doesn't always function very well. the dominican republic has already closed its border with haiti, and there is no real obvious successes of no. marie, see, of course, has been ruling by decrease in 2019 constitutional scholars say he should have set down. there have been gangs on the streets and violent protests going on for the last couple of years. and there had been food shortages and of course covered 19 in recovery from the earthquake 11 years ago. now. 60 percent of patients live on less than $2.00 a day. i don't think they'll be too concerned about the assassination. but what they will be concerned about is their own safety and security. and what happens next? speaking on local news, his intern prime minister has sought to assure political stability management. for

me as serving prime minister, i can guarantee that the political continuity of the state will be assured came ives, this journalist soneta sir with a newspaper, a t. t. he has more on who might be behind the attack and likely to happen next. what we do know is that the gangs and the killing of job now appear not to be connected. that was apparently foreigners, very well funded. they had 9 new nissan patrol, pickup trucks. they knew the layout of the president's house, they had inside information clearly. so this was a well funded operation, probably backed by some country or a very large mafia of some sort. i think. right now the opposition has been pressing to make the transitional government,

which i think the head of the un office there, helen lee, me who is a long time career state department officer has been somewhat sympathetic to and on the fence from what my sources tell me so i think now that of nell is gone and there is no clear successor. he just announced a new prime minister on monday. doctor r e l hungry, who the radically i would have thought would have been the one speaking. but instead of the former interim prime minister club joseph, the former foreign minister, he was until his predecessor judy resigned in april. so the circle around job now was growing smaller and smaller. so i imagine now the us is which holds a predominant weight in haiti. we'll tried to bring about some kind of

transitional government. the streets though are going to be very hot. there are neighborhood arms, neighborhood organizations formed an organization called the revolutionary forces of the g. 9 family and allies, which have called for a revolution against the system in haiti, and by that they mean the entire system, including all the power that the bush or z of haiti wields. and they want to see a change in the life of the haitian people. who live for the most part in dire poverty and misery. taliban fighters have continued their offensive in northern afghanistan, making their 1st assaults and the provincial capital since the u. s. and they to georgia and began. the taliban says briefly to control of color in now in buddies
