 The Prime Minister of Haiti, Claude Joseph, declared a "state of siege" on Wednesday, which gives greater powers to the Executive, a few hours after the assassination of the president, Jovenel Moise, at his home.

 "In strict application of article 149 of the Constitution, I have just presided over an Extraordinary Council of ministers and we have decided to declare a state of siege throughout the country," Joseph announced in a speech posted on social media.

 "They shot and killed the president and wounded his wife," said the prime minister, who assured that this death "will not go unpunished."
