    “The draft proposal also included an “orange” list of 10 countries for which travel would be restricted but not cut off. In those cases, affluent business travelers might be allowed to enter, but not people traveling on immigrant or tourist visas.

    Citizens on that list would also be subjected to mandatory in-person interviews in order to receive a visa. It included Belarus, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan and Turkmenistan.” nytimes.

    It’s all I have to bring today—
    This, and my heart beside—
    This, and my heart, and all the fields—
    And all the meadows wide—
    Be sure you count—should I forget
    Some one the sum could tell—
    This, and my heart, and all the Bees
    Which in the Clover dwell.

    Lors d’un constat effectué au lendemain de l’attaque, des trousseaux de clés de la prison, des uniformes de police ainsi que des documents administratifs ont été retrouvés à même le sol, selon un des deux rapports obtenus par AyiboPost. Les cadenas et barrières pour la plupart étaient brisés.

    «On a fait ce qu’on pouvait», déclare à AyiboPost Pierre René François, le directeur de la DAP. «On n’avait pas seulement le pénitencier national à consolider», dit-il. «Il y avait aussi le palais national, la base de l’Unité Départementale de Maintien de l’Ordre (UDMO), le commissariat de Port-au-Prince, l’aéroport… les bandits étaient partout et ce n’était pas facile à gérer.»

  • There is enough evidence to charge in the assassination of

    Jacqueline Charles and Jay Weaver reports in the Miami Herald.

    Investigative Judge Walther Wesser Voltaire, has sent his 122-page indictment, in the assassination of Haiti’s President Jovenel Moïse. He has charged Martine Moïse and nearly 50 others in the assassination conspiracy.

    In addition to Martine Moïse, the judge indicted [former Prime Minister Claude] Joseph and ex-Police Chief Léon Charles. Both were in office when Moïse was gunned down inside his home in the middle of the night. They are among 10 former government officials or allies of the president who, according to Voltaire, had “an active participation” in the events leading up to his shocking death.
