Haiti government denounces plot
to oust president, arrests over 20

– Haitian authorities on Sunday
arrested nearly two dozen
people, including a Supreme
Court judge, for their role in an
alleged plot to oust President
Jovenel Moise that has exacerbated
political tensions in the
troubled Caribbean country.
Prime Minister Joseph
Jouthe told a news conference
at his private residence that a
senior police official was also
among the 23 people detained
with money, guns and ammunition.
“These people had contacted
national palace security officials,
high-ranking officers of
the national palace whose mission
was to arrest the president
… and also to facilitate the
installation of a new president,”
Jouthe said, speaking alongside
the minister of justice and the
chief of police.
President Moise, speaking
later at the Port-Au-Prince airport
on his way to launch the
annual carnival in the coastal
town of Jacmel, said the
plotters’ aim was to make an
“attempt on my life”.
The arrests come after leading
opposition figures this week
announced a plan to replace
Moise with a new head of state,
accusing the president of being
Caribbean L 20 ife, FEBRUARY 12-18, 2021
authoritarian and presiding
over economic chaos in the
Western hemisphere’s poorest
country.
Earlier on Sunday, antigovernment
demonstrators in
Port-Au-Prince clashed with
police, who responded with
tear gas. There were also street
protests against Moise in some
other towns.
The opposition plan called
for members of civil society
and opposition leaders to pick a
new president from one of the
sitting Supreme Court judges,
instead of waiting for general
elections scheduled for September.
Moise, who has ruled by
decree since mid-January, has
stated he would hand over
power to the winner of the
elections but would not step
down until his term expires
in 2022.
The U.S. government on Friday
urged talks to resolve the
crisis while underlining “a new
elected president should succeed
President Moise when his
term ends on February 2nd,

2022.”
Moise has also put in place
plans to hold a referendum on
amending the constitution in
April, with the opposition voicing
concerns the vote will not
be free or fair and could give
Moise too much power.
Haiti has been badly hit by a
crippling economic crisis made
worse by the coronavirus pandemic.
The country has also been
paralyzed over the past year
by a spike in kidnappings and
a sharp rise in overall crime,
which has weighed on the
economy and dealt a huge blow
to the quality of life for ordinary
people.
