海地總統遇刺身亡

海地總統摩依士於週三凌晨一時在其居所被一批刺客刺殺後不治身亡， 其夫人亦受重傷在急救之中。

海地總理喬瑟在聲明中强烈譴責這項野蠻的行刺行動，並希望國人保持冷靜， 全國安全將由國家警政及空軍負責以確保政府之繼續運作。

按照海地憲法， 總統職應由最高法院法官繼任， 但是他確因新冠肺炎去世， 下面一位继任者應該是總理 ，但需要國會同意， 目前國會在休會中， 因為選舉還沒有如期舉行。

摩依士於二O一七年二月七日就任總統任期本應到今年二月七日結束， 但他堅持任期應到明年二月， 因而造成國內暴亂不斷。

這個加勒比海島國是世界上最貧窮的國家之一 ，多年前的地震大颶風 ，生命財產重創。

海地是美國後院 實施民主制度多年 ，但是仍然一貧如洗， 民不聊生， 選舉制度成了仇恨的根源，

多年來 ，充分证明 ，如果教育和經濟沒有達到相當水平， 自由選舉將無法達成國家的繁榮。

Haitian President Moise Is Dead

Haitian President Moise was  assassinated Wednesday in his residence. The country's First Lady also was injured in the attack. She was in critical condition and was flown to Florida later

Haitian Prime Minister Joseph described the attack as a hateful, inhumane and barbaric act. He wants the international community to launch an investigation into the killing and   a to file a request with the United Nations to hold a Security Council meeting on the attack.

President Biden, as expected, was shocked and saddened.

This Caribbean country with 11 million people is the poorest nation in the world. In the last several years they have been facing so many political and economic challenges.

Many years ago when an earthquake caused the nation so much tragedy, it has never recovered from that disaster.

This is so sad. The nation has lost their leader. We all think about the democratic system that could help a country’s future, but that is not the way for Haitians.

Our condolences go out to the President’s family and to the Haitian people.
