HAITI STILL MISSING THE POINT: HOW COULD SUCH A THING EVER HAPPEN?

ICHEOKU says Haiti is still not getting it. The issue is not the effort they are making to solve the assassination of President Jovenel Moise. Rather, the issue is how the president was killed that so easily in his bedroom inside his own home. Put in another words, who allowed it to happen? Who signed off on it? Where was his presidential protection unit and even assuming they faced an overwhelming firepower, why did they not call for support from the presidential guard, wing of the military; and if they did, why were they not dispatched quickly enough, and if they did, what was their response time? 

Why were surrounding points of entry and exit around the president's home not cordoned off, with police controlling and checking vehicular movements in and out of the area and some on stationed at mounted roadblocks. What was the level of security provided for a Haitian president, especially the roiling insecurity problem in their country considered, such that a band of "mercenaries" came in and assassinated a sitting president and now the Haitian authorities are trying to convince the world that they are working to "solve" the assassination, having arrested many and killed some of the perpetrators and now have found a "doc" from Florida who sponsored the assassination. What a story.

How could such "gang" of assassins so easily infiltrate Haiti, penetrate the home of the president and kill him on his bed without being discovered, confronted and possible neutralized much earlier. How could they even easily planned everything without a whiff of it being captured by Haiti security and intelligence agencies. It is a sad commentary on them really. It was not only the president that was killed by this assassination, the entire Haitian security apparatus were also "assassinated" because if they could not protect the president, who else is safe in Haiti. What use are they anyway? How was it possible to violate Haiti in such a manner and to the level of assassinating their president inside his own home and on his own bed. 

It is not as if presidents have not been assassinated elsewhere before including in Egypt, Nigeria and even in America. But to carry out such a dastardly act inside the president's home and not it being a somewhat "crime of opportunity" tripped by movement outside the president's abode, his fortress, have just topped every imaginable possible such scenario of presidential  assassinations. How many were these "gang" members or rather mercenaries and what caliber of weapons did they come with to have easily overpowered the president's security and protection unit. An issue made more concerning because Haiti has not told the world if any other person was killed, other than the president. So, how many of the president's protection details lost their lives trying to protect and defend the president? 

From the bullet riddled walls and vehicles seen on video, it seems that so many shots were fired and the operation possibly lasted for at least thirty minutes; so where was the reinforcement and where was the backup rushed to the president's home following the invasion. But instead of explaining what everybody wants to understand, the Haitian authority or whatever is left of it, are busy now introducing yet another "DOC" in their lexicon. This time, an "Adult Doc" from Florida who they just told the world was the mastermind of the assassination, triggering a flashback of the harried memories of Baby Doc; and you wonder whether "docs" nightmare will ever end in Haiti and what has "docs" got to do with Haiti. 

So, as the world continues its wait for the unfolding tragic drama in Port-Au-Prince to fully give up its contents, ICHEOKU says the authorities in Haiti should concentrate their effort more on the inside baseball of the assassination and not dwell too much on who the players are that allegedly carried it out, admitted they are indispensable in the whole equation. It is not about who wanted it to happen but who allowed it to happen. Who among Haiti military and security outfits participated in the assassination since no "doc" whether from Florida or not, adult or baby, could successfully kill the president unless Haitian security signed off on the plot. If there is a name worse than "third world country" and "banana republic", Haiti has earned and now richly deserves such a moniker. What happened in Haiti has topped every madness ever possible in a failed State and which now puts Haiti on a life support.  #WhoKilledPresidentMoise.
