Martine Moïse, first lady of Haiti, in Florida on Thursday, July 30, 2021.
The killers filed out. One stepped on her feet. Another waved a flashlight in her eyes, apparently to check to see if she was still alive.In her first interview since the president’s assassination on July 7, Moïse, 47, described the searing pain of witnessing her husband, a man with whom she had shared 25 years, being killed in front of her.
Moïse was also locked in battle with some of the nation’s wealthy oligarchs, including the family that controlled the nation’s electrical grid. While many people described the president as an autocratic leader, Martine Moïse said her fellow citizens should remember him as a man who stood up to the rich and powerful.“Only the oligarchs and the system could kill him,” she said.
“He said, ‘I found Dimitri Hérard; I found Jean Laguel Civil,’” she said, reciting the names of two top officials in charge of presidential security. “And they told me that they are coming.” “At this moment, I felt that I was suffocating because there was blood in my mouth and I couldn’t breathe,” she said. “In my mind, everybody was dead, because if the president could die, everybody else could have died too.”
