Assassinated Haiti President Widow Returns Home for Funeral

Martine Moïse, the widow of Haiti's assassinated president Jovenel Moïse, returned to the Caribbean nation on Saturday for his funeral.

Martine was treated in a Miami hospital for injuries sustained during the July 7 attack at their private residence.

The Prime Minister's office tweeted a video of Martine arriving back at the Haitian capital's Toussaint Louverture international airport, wearing all black clothing, donning a bulletproof vest with her right arm in a sling.

"The Prime Minister, Dr. Claude Joseph, welcomes the First Lady, Martine Moise, who arrives in Haiti for the funeral of her husband," the Prime Minister's office said.

Martine had tweeted earlier this week while in Miami that she was still coming to terms with the killing of her husband and had thanked a "team of guardian angels who helped me through this terrible time."

Earlier on Saturday, the important Core Group of international ambassadors and representatives had urged "the formation of a consensual and inclusive government".

"To this end, we strongly encourage the designated Prime Minister Ariel Henry to continue the mission entrusted to him to form such a government," the group said.

Henry, who Moïse designated Prime Minister shortly before being killed, has not been sworn into his position and the country is currently being led by Joseph.

The president was shot dead when assassins armed with assault rifles stormed his home in the hills above Port-au-Prince, tipping the country into uncertainty and sparking a frenzied investigation to identify the authors of the plan.
