Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, said the UN was very concerned about Haiti. What is important is that the international community rally around Haiti to support it in any way we can, Mr Dujarric said. For our part, we are calling for calm to ensure that there s no violence, for constitutional continuity - there is a constitution, it is very important that needs to be respected. Beyond the political, of course we condemn this abhorrent assassination of the president, he said.

Haiti’s President Jovenel Moise was killed during an attack on his private residence early on Wednesday, according to the country’s acting Prime Minister Claude Joseph, who has declared a state of seige in the country.
The attackers stormed Moise’s home at around 1 a.m. and fatally wounded the head of state, according to the acting prime minister, who described the assassination as a “heinous, inhumane and barbaric act.”
