After the assassination, I'm surprised he even thought that was a good idea.
He is one of the reason Haiti is in this state. What should have been a total reset with the earthquake fund and petro money. Government and opposition destroyed the country due to their own selfishness.

Politics is politics on Haiti, so even members whose families are aligned with SM's party would be upset that the surcharge imposed on money transfers was STOLEN. Earmarked for schools, but not a dime went towards that.
The leadership class STEALING and not developing the country for decades is directly tied to the escalation of violence. Happened under SM and the late Moise's watches.
MFers just shuck and jive too gotdamned much on this section of the board.
His brother in law is well known drug trafficker in Haiti.
US sanctions former Haitian president over alleged drug trafficking
Aug 19, 2024
The United States has imposed sanctions on Haiti’s former President Michel Joseph Martelly over alleged drug trafficking, accusing him of playing a significant role in perpetuating the continuing crisis in the country.
The US Department of the Treasury, in a statement on Tuesday, said Martelly “abused his influence to facilitate the trafficking of dangerous drugs, including cocaine, destined for the United States”.
The department said Martelly, who served as president of the Caribbean nation between 2011 and 2016, also worked with Haitian drug traffickers, sponsored multiple gangs and engaged in the laundering of illicit drug proceeds.
“Today’s action against Martelly emphasises the significant and destabilising role he and other corrupt political elites have played in perpetuating the ongoing crisis in Haiti,” Treasury Acting Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Bradley Smith said in the statement.
“The United States, along with our international partners, is committed to disrupting those who facilitate the drug trafficking, corruption, and other illicit activities fueling the horrific gang violence and political instability.”
Tuesday’s action freezes any of Martelly’s US assets and generally bars Americans from dealing with him. It echoes similar moves from the Canadian government, which imposed sanctions in 2022 against Martelly and two other former prime ministers, accusing them of profiting from armed gangs
