Haitians protest President Jovenel Moise

Haitians are protesting against President Jovenel Moise. People are questioning the constitutionality of his presidency.

The country has entered a new crisis after allegations of an attempted coup that included plans of his murder, according to Moise.

The opposition says Moise should have stepped down February 7th, which marked five years after the initial time of the 2015 elections.

But under claims of fraud, the elections were canceled and held a year later. Moise supporters say he took power in 2017, after the rerun election.

The opposition tried to get three Supreme Court judges to appoint an interim president until new elections but all three are forced to retire by decree, the Guardian reports.
