Moise has ruled the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation by decree since mid-January and in recent weeks renewed protests against his leadership have flared up. An anti-government demonstration by Haitians calling for Moise’s ouster and other changes is planned for Sunday; earlier protests have often been violent and led to deaths.

Moise has said he wants to break a “decades-long cycle of political crises” and could use a referendum to push through the overhaul of the constitution if he has no parliament to approve it.
