Jovenel Moïse Case: Daniel Foote Says Ariel Henry Must Answer the Courts’ Questions

Prime Minister Ariel Henry clearly cannot rest easy, as fingers continue to point at him, rightly or wrongly, in the assassination of Jovenel Moïse.

On Friday, November 5, 2021, in an interview with CBS, former U.S. special envoy to Haiti Daniel Foote called on Haiti’s head of government to explain his alleged involvement in the July 7, 2021, assassination of the president at Pèlerin 5.

Speaking cautiously, the American diplomat noted that there are many allegations surrounding the case, citing as an example phone conversations between Prime Minister Ariel Henry and one of the masterminds of the crime, both before and after the operation. For Foote, the 71-year-old neurosurgeon remains a prime suspect in the assassination of former President Jovenel Moïse.

Daniel Foote, the former U.S. special envoy to Haiti, formally resigned to Secretary of State Antony Blinken over his disagreement with U.S. migration policy toward undocumented Haitians.
