The wife of the President of Haiti who was murdered in her room revealed how she survived the attack: “They thought she was dead”

With him elbow broken by gunshots, mouth full of blood and unable to breathe, the first lady of Haiti was lying on the floor next to her bed, watching how the murderers of her husband, the president Jovenel Moses, they burst into the room.

“The only thing I saw before he was killed were his boots.”, He said Martine Moïse around the time her husband was gunned down next to her, according to The New York Times. “Then I closed my eyes and saw nothing else”added.

While the aggressors they inspected her husband’s files in the room he could hear what they were saying in Spanish. “It’s not that,” they repeated, and continued to search. Until finally we say: “So”.

The assassins then left the room, but first pointed a flashlight at her eyes to see if she was still alive. “They thought she was dead”, he argues in an interview with the New York Times, the first after the tragic incident of July 7.

Martine Moïse, 47, described the pain she felt seeing how her husband, a man with whom she had shared 25 years, was assassinated in front of her. In any case, he did not dare to relive the deafening gunshots, the shaking of walls and windows, the terrifying certainty that her children would also be killed, the horror of seeing her husband’s body and her struggle to rise from the ground after the killers left the room.

Your need to speak right now is explained in this do not trust the ongoing investigation and that still doesn’t answer the most important question: Who ordered and paid for the murder of her husband?

Haitian police arrested several people accused of being behind the murder, including 18 Colombians and several Haitians and Haitian-Americans, while the search continues. Police authorities suspect Christian Emmanuel Sanon, a 63-year-old doctor and pastor who allegedly plotted to hire Colombian mercenaries to kill the president and seize political power.

But like many reviews of the official version, Martine Moïse does not believe that the main defendants were able to finance the attack on their own. He claims that there is a more powerful brain behind the command and delivery of money.

It seems very suspicious that none of the 30 or 50 guards who worked at his house were injured. “I don’t understand how they didn’t shoot anyone,” he thinks.

President Moïse had faced some of the the richest oligarchs in the country, including the family that controls the national electricity grid. His wife Martine asks to be remembered as a man who stood up to the rich and powerful so he thinks they might have something to do with the murder. “Only the oligarchs and the system could kill him”he said in the interview with The New York Times.

The Moses family were asleep when the sound of gunfire woke them up. Martine revealed that she went to pick up her two sons, both in their twenties, and asked them to hide in a bathroom, the only place with no windows.

The president looked for his cell phone and asked for help. But protection did not arrive in time and the assassins quickly entered the room. Jovenel Moïse told his wife to lie down on the ground so as not to hurt her. “This is where I think you’ll be safe,” he told her. These were the last words he addressed to her.

The first lady assured that the attackers “They were looking for something in the room and they found it”, but he does not know what.

Now Martine demands that international agencies such as the FBI track down the money that financed the murder. Wait for the sum to return to wealthy Haitian oligarchs whose livelihoods were disrupted by her husband’s attacks on their lucrative contractshe said in the interview with The New York Times.

Mrs. Moïse quoted Reginald Boulos, a powerful Haitian businessman interested in the presidency of the country, as someone who could be linked to the death of her husband, although he refrained from accusing him of ordering the murder.

“I would like them to catch the people who did this, otherwise they will kill all the presidents who take power”he told the American newspaper. “They did it once. They will do it again “added.

The first lady is seriously considering running for president, once she has had further operations on her injured arm. Doctors plan to implant nerves from your feet into your arm, but you may never regain your mobility. You can currently only move two fingers.

“President Jovenel had a vision and we Haitians are not going to let him die”, ended.
