Five years ago this month, Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated inside his own home by a group of foreign mercenaries. His wife survived. The president's phone disappeared. Prosecutors were threatened. And, five years later, no one has been brought to trial in Haiti.
In this conversation, journalist Macollvie J. Neel takes listeners back to the night of July 7, 2021, explains what investigators believe happened inside the president's home, and examines why the assassination remains one of the most consequential—and unresolved—political crimes in the Western Hemisphere.
The conversation also explores the political vacuum left behind, the international investigation that continues in U.S. courts, and why understanding the events of that night is essential to understanding Haiti today.
