    Nah that's all on the sign in form, I'm far too busy to ask people if they follow Obama on twitter, if they drink craft beer or ar human, if they have seen the Biden pedo yt vids etc. I just check the form at the end and if they ticked anything I disagree with I charge extra

    Yeah, I was just reading about that. I don't know enough about the situation and political parties in Haiti to have an opinion about the ruling or Moise's intentions but considering the opposition includes a militarized g--- led by a police officer...though we're obviously a more stable country it's still scary to think that we have a bunch of the same ingredients here w/r/t arguments over the validity of an election, militarized gangs, etc.

    Apparently there were accusations of widespread election fraud when Jovenel Moise initially won in 2015. A tribunal ruled in his favor that there was no widespread election fraud but that process took a year & thus delayed his presidency by a year. Moise claimed since his presidency was delayed by a year, he was owed another year to govern but his political opponents disagreed. This has led to unrest which the Moise government has put down with force that has drawn a lot of criticism. Moise’s government has also arrested many opposition political leaders who no longer accept him as the rightful president.

    https://www.cnn.com/americas/live-news/haiti-president-assassinated-updates-intl/index.html

    "It is with deep sorrow that the Government of Haiti can confirm that President Moise has been assassinated. The attack occurred at the Presidential Palace at around 1:00am on July 7th. Although details are still emerging, at this time it can be confirmed that this was a highly coordinated attack by a highly trained and heavily armed group. Further details on the situation will be provided as soon as possible and we will ensure that those responsible for this heinous act are swiftly brought to justice.

    "Haiti has lost a true statesman who was committed to progressing our country’s democratic transition and fighting corruption. President Moise believed that Haiti could become a beacon of democracy and worked tirelessly to address serious systemic failures within Haiti, including reform of the constitution. He sought to distance himself from polarized Haitian politics and deliver lasting, meaningful change for the country in the face of powerful forces of resistance.

    "We urge Haitians to show restraint and maintain a peaceful environment over the coming days. We also call on the international community to launch an investigation into the assassination and for the United Nations to hold a Security Council meeting on Haiti as soon as possible.

    "President Moise died in defence of democracy and we have a duty to ensure his legacy is honored. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire nation, and with the family of the President and the First Lady."
