MARTINE MOISE CHOSE NOT TO FLEE: A BLACK WIDOW OR A GRIEVING WIFE?

ICHEOKU says the widowed First Lady of Haiti abruptly ended her hospitalization in Miami Florida where she was being treated for gun shots wounds she received during the assassination of her late husband, the former Haiti's President Jovenel Moise and returned to Haiti. It was unannounced, leaving many people wondering if the internecine power struggle going on in Port-AU-Prince has taken a turn for the worse that she decided to wade in. Possibly, she wants to assert a claim of title to the presidency or better still, demand that she be allowed to finish what was left of her husband's term in office. She couldn't have just returned to Haiti, having not yet fully recovered, unless there was a burning reason necessitating it and possibly too, because she wants to be on the driver 's seat of the unfolding developments.

The fact that she returned wearing a bullet proof jacket shows that she strongly believes that her husband's assassination was an inside job and that she does not trust Haitian security authorities with her life; despite all the attempts made by them to refocus attention on some "gang" members and their hired mercenaries from Colombia. As ICHEOKU has always maintained, a president of a country cannot be so easily killed just like that, in his own home, on his own bed and inside his own bedroom. Where did all the presidential guards and security details go and if they were becoming overpowered, why did they not call for back up and if they did, why were they not dispatched and if, what took them so long in getting to the scene. They have not told the world how many presidential guards died defending the president; so yes, Martine Moise is righteously suspicious of the Haitian security apparatus. 

ICHEOKU says how could those assassins "riddle her husband with bullets" but very methodically, carefully and selectively only inflicted "superficial" wounds on her arm and thigh? Then an "angel Gabriel" suddenly appeared from nowhere to rescue her and rush her to a downtown to the General Hospital to bandage her up before she was medevacked to Fort Lauderdale and subsequently taken to Miami's Jackson Memorial Trauma center. There is a lot of gaps that needs filling up and further explanations; including how gunmen could swarm a bedroom where two people were sleeping and riddled one body and left the other practically untouched and both were supposedly lying under covers of bedsheets and/or blankets. How did they know at which position on the bed, inside a supposedly dark sleeping bedroom, to point and direct the muzzles of their automatic rifles, except somebody guided them? 

Unfortunately President Jovenel Moise is no longer available to speak on what happened as dead people don't talk, admitted they sometimes do through in-depth forensic investigation. Hopefully, the FBI will zero in on this apparent discrepancy and interrogate Madam First Lady Martine Moise to see if they can make her squeal. There is a lot of things that does not make sense in the whole tragic drama which is still unfolding in Haiti that they could easily pass for most unlikely coincidences. Exactly two weeks after Haiti's Supreme Court president Rene` Sylvestre died from "coronavirus" on June 23rd, a new Prime Minister designate Ariel Henry was named on July 5th but not sworn in. Then, two days later on July 7th, President Jovenel Moise was suddenly assassinated. 

Meanwhile, the incumbent Prime Minister Claude Joseph still has about eight days left in his mandate which was renewed on June 15th for 30 more days to expire on July 15th. It is also worth noting that the president of the Supreme Court was hospitalized since February 19th before suddenly succumbing to his illness on June 23rd. So, the question is why was the new prime minister not sworn in immediately or was his term to start upon the expiration of the incumbent Prime Minister's extended term, on July 15th? This will be the most reasonable interpretation of the situation; except that some ambassadors in Port-Au-Prince have now thrown themselves into the whole mess by backing the yet to be sworn in Prime Minister and bucking the current Prime Minister, who is legally and constitutionally in charge and whose term is yet to expire. 

ICHEOKU is of the opinion that Prime Minister Claude Joseph should continue to lead Haiti as the legitimate Prime Minister and not let those foreign countries who are trying to meddle with internal affairs of Haiti and who probably were the real mastermind of the assassination, succeed in forcing upon Haiti an unmanageable existential crisis. If the late president intended for the designate prime minister to resume his office immediately, he would have arranged for the next ranking Supreme Court Judge or Vice President of the court to swear him in immediately following the announcement. But he did not and the designate prime minister was not sworn in, which shows a deliberate intention on the part of the late president that the new prime minister will begin his term on July 15th. 

But as the world awaits the final resolution of the power vacuum in Port-Au-Prince, it is important that Martine Moise is closely looked into, to see if she had any role in what happened to her husband. Prime Minister Claude Joseph should also be fully investigated and so also does the entire Haiti top security apparatus deserve being looked into too as well. A country's president does not and cannot be so easily killed just like that without active involvement of some insiders. You can call it a palace coup if you like, but something is very fishy in the whole story of the assassination of Haiti's President Jovenel Moise. May his soul trouble all those who conspired to kill him and succeeded in carrying out that execution; and may he never rest until they are all brought to justice.
