Excerpt from article:
Moise, a banana exporter-turned-politician, faced fierce protests after taking office as president in 2017. This year, opposition leaders accused him of seeking to install a dictatorship by overstaying his mandate and becoming more authoritarian. He denied those accusations.
Moise had ruled by decree for more than a year after the country failed to hold legislative elections, and he sought to push through a controversial constitutional reform.
I personally know missionaries there, and believe me, this was the last thing they needed.
There have already been uprisings of violence where streets are blocked and controlled by gangs, hindering movement of badly needed food and medical supplies, as well as hindering education for students.
The Dominican border has been closed, which missionaries rely on to purchase food there. Food is ridiculously inflated in Haiti right now.
Please pray that the void is filled very quickly by a decent person. Historically this government is filled with corruption. The person next in line died from Covid 19.
Pray for the safety of all missionaries, and for the people of Haiti. God is doing great things there through missionaries.
