Port-au-Prince, Jul 17 (EFE).- The United States and the other countries and institutions making up the so-called Core Group effectively repudiated on Saturday the acting prime minister who took charge of the Haitian government following the assassination of President Jovenel Moise.
Claude Joseph presented himself as the rightful interim leader within hours of Moise’s slaying in the wee hours of July 7.
On July 8, the United Nations special envoy for Haiti, US former diplomat Helen La Lime, said that the world body recognized Joseph as acting head of the government.
Some questioned the propriety of the move, given that Moise had already dismissed Joseph and named a new prime minister, Ariel Henry, while Haiti’s rump Senate insisted that one of its members, Joseph Lambert, should become premier pending elections.

PORT-AU-PRINCE - The funeral for Haiti s slain president Jovenel Moise will take place on July 23, officials said Friday, as the troubled nation s first democratically elected leader Jean-Bertrand Aristide arrived home after receiving medical care in Cuba.
The state funeral services will take place in Cap-Haitien, a historic city in the north of Haiti, which has slid dangerously toward disorder since Moise was gunned down in his home in the early hours of July 7.
