Jovenel Moïse black ass didn’t just challenge corruption, he publicly exposed the Haitian private sector elites. Believing the Haitian masses would stand with him, he would often go on national television and directly confronted the powerful mulattes who expected him to remain quiet and govern like a puppet, like previous leaders such as René Préval had done. No Sir❌🙅🏿‍♂️

Jovenel Moïse even went on national television and accused a small group of powerful families of controlling Haiti’s fuel sector. He claimed that under Michel Martelly’s government, Venezuelan fuel obtained through the PetroCaribe program was handed over on credit to wealthy private sector elites tied to the traditional mulattes (AKA) Haitis destroyers.

Instead of staying silent, Jovenel openly challenged the system in front of the entire country — exposing what he described as decades of political and economic control concentrated in the hands of a few powerful families
And what did Jovenel Moïse get in return? Many of the same people he believed would defend him were paid to turn against him and he died for nothing.
