Joseph Lambert Declared Haiti's Interim President 

The Haitian Senate has chosen Joseph Lambert to be the country’s interim president, following Haiti's assassinated president Jovenel Moise.

The resolution was supported by 8 senators out of 10.

It is worth mentioning that, authorities said that an armed group of “professional killers,” consisting of more than two dozen people, including two US citizens and retired members of the Colombian military are among the assassins of Hait’s President Jovenel Moïse.

 

The assassins claimed to be DEA; spoke a mix of Spanish & English with a US accent. Haiti’s government says highly trained foreign attackers are involved. All borders & airports are tightly shut.

 

Local police published on Friday names of 19 suspects, who were arrested by the authorities, and said that they included 17 Colombians and two Haitian Americans, and an additional Colombian suspect.

A State Department said that it is aware of the arrests of two American citizens in Haiti in relation to the attack, adding that the United States is sending a team to investigate the matter.
