Haitian Prime Minister Fires Prosecutor After He Seeks to Charge Henry in Killing of Jovenel Moïse
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Haiti, a political crisis is deepening after Prime Minister Ariel
Henry fired the country's top public prosecutor, hours after the
prosecutor said he was seeking charges against Prime Minister Henry over
the July assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. Prosecutor Bed-Ford
Claude said Henry had communicated with a key suspect on the night Moïse
was killed.

Meanwhile, many Haitians are still struggling to recover from the
devastation brought by the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that struck one
month ago.

Webson Similien: "As you can observe, we haven't received help from
anyone. My house is destroyed. We haven't received help. People who live
here are helping us to rebuild this church."
